Roper: Climate Council eyes transportation carbon tax on top of S.5 home heating tax

Fresh off the veto override and passage of S.5, the Clean Heat Standard bill, the Vermont Climate Council discussed ideas for doing something similar with transportation fuels — gasoline and diesel.

Rep. Galfetti: Affordable Heat Act just a regressive carbon tax

The bill was cleverly designed so that most of the sticker shock does not take effect until after next year’s elections. So when one of your legislators who supported this bill and is running for reelection asks you whether you have been adversely affected by this law, don’t be fooled — the shoes start dropping in 2025.

Roper: Gov. Scott says we can’t afford the heating fuels we’re about to tax

It’s hard for a state government to argue for taxpayer money to subsidize the high cost of something they’re simultaneously trying to price consumers out of the market.

John Klar: Regressive carbon taxes — Part 2

Imagine taxing all vegetables but not beef, then giving the receipts to rich people to buy hamburgers and steaks, who could then eat more meat and fewer vegetables, becoming richer and fatter.

John Klar: Regressive carbon taxes

Vermont’s so-called progressives have implemented an array of tax, electric rate, and regulatory burdens on low-income Vermonters and small businesses that benefit wealthy nonresidents and mega-corporations.

Roper: Climate Council discusses ‘all economy’ carbon tax

Implementing an “economy wide” “cap and invest” program is the latest curlicue fluorescent lightbulb to go off over the heads of the 23 zealots charged with totally restructuring our economy around greenhouse gas reduction.

Vermont Fuel Dealers Association

Watch every Democrat in the recent Lt. Gov. debate voice support for a carbon tax on home heating

Watch every Democrat candidate in the recent lieutenant governor debate voice their support for a carbon tax on home heating oil, propane, natural gas, and kerosene — and throw gasoline and diesel into the mix.

McClaughry: Heating fuel tax dead — for now

Scott indicated that when the clean heat standard policy, costs and impacts are more fully worked out, a “revised” CHS might yet win his support. That was not encouraging news to the fuel dealers and their customers who will pay the CHS bill.

McClaughry: Here comes another carbon tax

Are you ready for the coming carbon tax on your home and business heating bill? The Vermont House is working at flank speed to enact the “Clean Heat Standard” (CHS) concocted by the Climate Action Network, and adopted by the Vermont Climate Council.

McClaughry: Swiss vote ‘no carbon tax’ in national referendum

In what is believed to be the first time a carbon tax has been put to a national vote, upscale urban regions including Geneva, Basel and Zurich voted in favor of the CO2 law, but 51.6 percent of voters, and 21 of the country’s 26 cantons, said “get out of here with your carbon tax.”

McClaughry: The ‘thermal energy efficiency’ tax is coming

After the push for the carbon tax fizzled out in 2018, the climate change game turned to enacting a carbon tax by disguising it as something else. The latest version is called “the Thermal Energy Efficiency Charge,” and Sen. Chris Bray has become its most ardent promoter.
