Daily Howler (March '07): Gore advocates doing BOTH a carbon tax and cap and trade

CLINTON [see the 3:00 mark at the YouTube video above] (continuing directly): I wanted to just ask for some further clarification on a couple of your proposals, which I find extremely intriguing.

GORE: They are not either/or. We can do both. I am in favor of both. Many people discuss cap and trade and a CO2 tax, revenue-neutral CO2 tax swapping for employment taxes as if you have to pick one. As a practical political matter, there would be some people who would say only one of the above. I think the most effective approach is to do both.
