POLICY FOR CLIMATE STABILZATION

• Carbon tax or equivalent (cap trade) must be
  100/MT C (30/MT C02) and rise over time
• Recycle revenues of 150 billion for energy
  efficiency, renewables, progressive rebates
• RD investment (3-12 billion)
• Infrastructure investment hi-speed rail, public
  transit, green buildings
• Preferential credit for energy efficiency
