Local volunteers are approaching Maine towns and cities to approve a resolution asking Congress to support a carbon cash back bill. This charges a fee for fossil fuels at the well or mine, and returns all that money to every American citizen in the form of a monthly dividend check. The Carbon Cash Back approach would work better than any other approach currently being considered to reduce climate change. And importantly, this is a market-based approach that does not keep our money, which should make it acceptable to Republicans. ~ Richard Thomas, Waterville
