Washington state starts pressing utilities to tack on a   "social cost of carbon"  to electricity prices.

What you need to know:

1. The "social cost of carbon" (SCC) is entirely bogus.  100% of our society depends on fossil fuels.

2. The social benefit of carbon is huge -- I estimate at least $1,700 per ton of CO2. But it's really incalculable.

3. Without fossil fuels our society would stop and billions would die. Fossil fuels have taken humanity from 1 billion to eight billion people living longer wealthier, healthier and freer lives than ever before.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Social cost of carbon?  :wtf:  Why not the social cost of bad breath, outdoor toilets, wind, or rain? *****rollingeyes*****
