Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act would eliminate the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases, and institute an increasing carbon tax.

carbon tax would have a good effect, if the tax rate is high enough to bring about rapid decarbonization. I don't know how much would be required, but this one would take some years to reach that level, giving the planet roasters a delay that we can't afford.

I have a hunch that the "dividend" would not be aimed at the poor people that need it most, and that the net result for poor Americans would be harmful.

If those things were corrected, I would support the carbon tax _in addition to_ the regulatory authority. Not instead of it.
