Carbon Fee and Dividend, State Level Implementation
A "carbon fee and dividend" is proposed as a first step toward UBI, where pollution costs are collected and redistributed to citizens as an unconditional payment. States like Oregon and Washington, as well as Washington D.C., are exploring these models alongside land value taxes. Following the precedent of marijuana legalization, these state and local experiments could serve as proof-of-concept for a national dividend system.
