The Core Energy Plan
The entire carbon tax should be returned to the public. … Carbon emissions will plummet far faster than in top-down or Manhattan projects.
—James E. Hansen, NASA climate scientist, 2008.

Importance: Four key energy polices should match the four key energy-market failures. Tax revenues are no reason for a spending binge—just give them back.
Main Ideas:
• Carbon is under-priced: Use a carbon untax.
• Energy security issues: Oil carbon gets a separate tax rate.
• Consumer myopia: Fuel economy incentives.
• Markets under-reward research: Subsidies for advanced research.
• The untax: Return revenues without regard for energy use, and it will work.
