Create a carbon dividend funded by fees on major fossil-fuel companies

Liccardo supports putting a price on carbon through a carbon dividend. The proposal would collect fees from major fossil-fuel companies and provide the revenue directly to taxpayers, with the goal of encouraging consumers to shift to renewable energy. He describes this as a market-based way to hold fossil-fuel companies accountable without increasing overall costs for consumers or taxpayers.
