Carbon pricing is a safer, smarter bet to fight climate change

As a young person concerned about climate change, watching key climate provisions in the Democrat-only reconciliation is more than disheartening. It’s reason to question the strategy of depending on one party to pass sufficiently robust climate legislation. A safer, smarter bet would be pursuing climate solutions that go the distance and can attract support from both parties. Properly executed, this approach would not only make climate legislation more likely but also ensure solutions that do pass last. After all, between now and 2050, the U.S. will be led by at least four presidents and by 15 different congresses.
