It's nice to see you advocate a position, especially for carbon taxes over cap and trade (which is a politician's/bureaucrat's/rent-seeker's dream). However, to avoid wasted expenditures/pork and to ensure political sustainability, I strongly prefer that any carbon tax revenue be rebated to citizens pro rata (like Jim Hansen): http://mises.org/Community/blogs/tokyotom/archive/2008/06/27/top-demagogues-jim-hansen-florida-power-exxon-aei-margo-thoring-major-economists-george-will-prefer-rebated-carbon-taxes.aspx.
