However, research from World Resources Institute shows that putting a price on carbon — with either a carbon tax or a cap - and - trade program — does not inherently help or hurt lower - income households (it is neither progressive or regressive, in economist - speak).

After all, the critics say, lower - income households spend a higher percentage of their budgets on energy than rich ones do, and the price of energy produced from carbon - intensive fuels is likely to rise.

And of course my favorite non-BRICS, as it has a very USA - like economy in miniature (except a stable, growing economy and well - managed low - corporate - tax haven that uses direct democracy to decide tax issues) with a carbon cycle pricing scheme that could become a model for a made - in - America policy that puts revenues from carbon - emission - pricing in the pockets of the owners of the carbon cycle — the citizens, directly, British Columbia.

Lower natural gas prices resulted in reduced levels of coal generation, and increased natural gas generation — a less carbon - intensive fuel for power generation, which shifted power generation from the most carbon - intensive fossil fuel (coal) to the least carbon - intensive fossil fuel (natural gas).

We find that the additional emission reductions from the 65 percent RES target in Germany will leave the carbon price $ 4 / t lower in 2030; down from $ 25 / t.
