fox news on pollution taxes

A couple of my blog posts have been from the Washington Post and in an effort to be more middle of the road I figured I'd check out Fox News too! It was difficult to find something relevant to a sustainability blog, which in itself says a lot, but ultimately I was happy with the article I found. The article focused on how beneficial a pollution tax would be in the US, that's right, a Fox News article was advocating for additional taxes.
Right now we're setting environmental standards too far down the supply chain and avoiding the root of the problem. By taxing power plants and gasoline we're looking at the root of carbon emissions, green building codes and fuel economy standards are doing less for the environment and are harder on poor families.
I found it interesting that a conservative news site like Fox News would be for raising taxes, but it's nice to know that not every article is unreasonably one-sided. At the end of the article the author even says that there has to be a compromise to make pollution taxes work for all socio-economic levels. The author makes a good point when he says that what happens to the revenue from taxes is the key to finding this compromise.

This article was written in early January so I'd be interested to see if the author's stance has changed at all in light of the current administration's progress.
