TheHill.com - Dingell withdraws idea of carbon tax

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell (D-Mich.) said Tuesday that he is no longer contemplating a “carbon tax” as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“Times have changed; our economy has taken a hard downward turn and now is not the time for us to put any additional financial burden on the working families of Michigan or this nation,” Dingell said.
