North Carolina’s Legislative Commission on Global Climate Change is considering 56 policies to cut carbon emissions. Those policies would raise taxes and fees, restrict consumers’ freedom, and raise prices. The Heartland Institute’s Budget & Tax News highlighted Daren Bakst’s JLF research on the topic this week. Meanwhile, Paul Chesser of Climate Strategies Watch shared his expertise about the questionable practices underlying climate change policies with WJR Radio in Detroit. Chesser also spoke at the Mackinac Center’s “Issues and Ideas Forum” in Lansing, Michigan. Meanwhile, climate policies would likely impact gas prices for drivers across North Carolina. The Shelby Star mentioned JLF data this week in an article about rising prices at the pump.
