HB 1152 - Carbon Tax Act (Passed)

[VPH]

Love the "Green Check" idea, but there's something I would like to see added and that's a border carbon adjustment fee. That way, companies will be disincentivized from leaving Atlasia to avoid the carbon tax.

[VPH]

I'm proposing an amendment to protect Atlasian jobs and urge other nations to take action on climate change. This way, there won't be an incentive for companies to move abroad because of the passage of this bill.

Is a final vote forthcoming? I believe the legislation provides a market solution to climate change, instead of top-down complex regulations. Not to mention, it protects jobs and raises immense amounts of revenue.

This will spur economic growth by putting money in the pockets of Atlasian citizens. Moreover, it encourages private investment in renewables. I don't think there's a reason to remove the rebate portion or reduce it.

Can somebody send a link to the legislation regarding subsidies? Perhaps we can find a middle ground here.

Are there still subsidies going to fossil fuel companies to the tune of over $30 billion a year? We could slash half those subsidies each year and cover the rebate easily.

I'll take up the sponsorship on this important amendment.

Thank you so much for the calculations! It appears as if this bill will raise absolutely massive amounts of revenue while using the free market to promote environmental policy. I believe we should pass this as soon as we can.

[VPH]

So since it's the final vote, I vote YEA

[VPH]

Can I now call for a final vote on this legislation?

Aye
