Any serious attempt to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will require reductions from all sectors of the economy. The authors believe that top-down approaches to a carbon tax will generate heavy excess revenues, thus causing administrative and equity problems. They suggest that a better approach, which was espoused by Vice President Gore, could come through a targeted trust fund approach.
