The Power Hour | What a Carbon Tariff Means for You

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts.&nbsp;In this episode, Jack and Mike McKenna, President of MWR Strategies and Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow discuss a recently introduced bill that would establish a tariff, or should we say tax, on imported items.&nbsp;The bill’s sponsors insist the tariff is not a tax but Mike and Jack’s analysis suggests otherwise.&nbsp;But the problem with the carbon tariff is not just that it will increase prices for American families and businesses, it establishes an important foundation on which more carbon dioxide-based regulation will surely be built.&nbsp;If you want to know why carbon tariffs are really just a tax by another name, and how they could impact the US economy for years to come, you will want to check this one out.&nbsp;Are we right?
