That\u2019s what\u2019s being reflected in [carbon] prices: for each tonne of carbon dioxide content for any given fuel, the extra price being added is the social cost of carbon. That\u2019s going to be a benefit to households who switch to low- or zero-carbon options because you\u2019re not going to be paying for that damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">If you look at the benefits versus the costs of the carbon tax, the costs of not implementing it \u2014 when you consider climate damages \u2014 are much higher than any of the savings. The costs are even higher if you decide to take a different policy approach and completely axe the carbon tax because anything the government does will cost money, but with the carbon tax you get revenue back, which you can remit to households and possibly use to incentivize other low carbon technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/thenarwhal.ca\/manitoba-carbon-pricing-debate\/\">full article on <em>The Narwhal<\/em> website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor Maya Papineau was interviewed by The Narwhal as an economic expert in their recent article on carbon prices.
