Fee and Dividend

This pricing mechanism was proposed by James Hansen (who also refers to it as Fee and Green Cheque). In summary:

  1. A fee is charged at the point of origin or point of import on greenhouse gas emitting energy (oil, gas and coal)
  2. The fee is progressive (increases gradually) over time
  3. The fee is returned to the public
