President Bush is widely expected to propose new environmental initiatives in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, in particular an ambitious new proposal to control greenhouse gas emissions. While the White House has publicly denied rumors that it will support a new "cap-and-trade" program modeled on the Kyoto Protocol--it has artfully avoided comment on a possible alternative: a carbon tax. Democrats in Congress have also promised to make the environment a top legislative priority for this session.
To discuss these and other environmental topics, the following AEI scholars and authors are available:
AEI scholar Samuel Thernstrom and Lee Lane, author of the recently published Strategic Options for Bush Administration Climate Policy (AEI Press, November 2006), explore--in a new AEI Environmental Policy Outlook--the policies the president is most likely to propose, that is, a carbon tax and an expanded federal climate technology R&D effort.
Also available to comment on air pollution issues is AEI scholar Joel Schwartz who has recently issued Burying Evidence: The Union of Concerned Scientists' Unscientific Claims about Air Pollution and Health, a response to the Union of Concerned Scientists’ (UCS) Digging Up Trouble: The Health Risks of Construction Pollution in California. Key points of Burying Evidence can be found here.
