Carbon price on international shipping

The goal—develop and deploy cleaner fuels to replace LNG with less carbon-intensive shipping fuels. The good news—a first international carbon price, which is some combination between a fee and a cap and trade. The bad news—the US is absent, and no one is sure whether the tax is strong enough to be effective. But interesting…

@Joanne Leovy The US is being left behind. This is not good. We should make sure to talk about why in our next lobby meetings.

Carbon pricing is spreading, prices are rising, and CBAMs are coming. This is good. Here's the presentation I delivered last weekend at the CCL NE Conference about that:

@John Gage

that is a wonderfully clear and concise summary of the arguments for carbon fee and dividend, John. VERY powerful. I appreciate the documentation, too. @Jonathan Marshall's book and this .ppt really give any serious policymaker all they need.

Our CCL-Nevada Grasstops folks want to engage our state legislature on carbon pricing to get a resolution calling on Congress to enact a federal CF&D policy. This preso is really gonna be helpful in our developing/tailoring that effort.

If you are giving this talk on Zoom anytime, please let a few of us lurk. Or record it.

BTW, I think you should cross-post this bitly link on Nerd Corner or another high-profile forum. It's very good.

@Wayne Willis - thank you! We're working on uploading the conference session recording, and I will share it on a wider forum when it's available.

In the meantime, here's a 5-minute recording of an earlier version of the presentation to a public audience: bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-2024.

And here's a “one-pager” with 11 supporting pages that we've used to share specific parts of the message and as a leave-behind in lobby meetings: bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-pdf.
