Save Our Climate Act of 2007 by Eusebius Wong, Aug 7, 2008 (8:22pm)

H.R. 2069 imposes a $10 tax per ton of carbon on primary fossil fuels (coal, petroleum products, and natural gas). After the fiscal year of 2008, the tax is to be annually increased by $10, until carbon dioxide levels are below 20 percent of levels in 1990. Exported fuels, however, would be exempt from taxation.
