#California Senator Menjivar & Assembly Member Addis have officially introduced the #PollutersPay Climate Superfund Act!
If lawmakers don’t act, California taxpayers will continue to be stuck with enormous cleanup bills for the climate destruction Big Oil helped create. Oil CEOs got rich, and now they want YOU to pay for the damage their pollution has caused.

📢 Tell CA lawmakers: MAKE POLLUTERS PAY. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/californians-make-polluters-pay

Mark Carney has given us a sensible next step after the carbon tax.

If the “polluter should pay,” the rich should be paying more. Make the carbon tax progressive and pair it with regulations supported by incentives.

Rural Municipalities Decry Oil Industry ‘Handouts’ Amid Escalating Well Cleanup Costs

With cleanup and restoration costs for “orphaned” oil wells in Alberta set to double, rural municipalities are redoubling their pressure on the provincial government to hold oil and gas companies accountable on a number of fronts.

@Bentley Absolutely! The carbon tax and dividend (or carbon fee and dividend, if you will) will put more money into hands of normal citizens, at the expense of major polluters. And everybody will be able to reduce their carbon taxes by reducing their emissions, choosing whichever methods best meet their own situation.

#Chevron says Richmond ballot measure to tax refinery will cost Bay Area drivers

By Cornell Barnard

"One of the Bay Area's largest refineries says it's against a tax measure on November's ballot, which could force it to pay more in taxes.

"Chevron is firing back at the City of Richmond, which greenlighted the measure. Chevron says if voters approve it, drivers across the Bay Area can expect to pay more at the pump.

"'This tax is the wrong approach,' said Tolly Graves, the director of Chevron's Richmond refinery, making it clear that the company is against a refinery tax, dubbed the '#PollutersPay Initiative.'

"In November, voters will decide to tax one of the state's largest refineries $1 for each barrel of oil processed in city limits.

"'At Chevron, our objective is always to provide reliable, affordable and clean [sic] energy to our customers and this tax puts all three at risk,' said Graves.

[...]

"Supporters of the tax argue that #pollution from the refinery has impacted residents' health.

"'The local air district traces the #particulate matter from the refinery. It's five-to-11 premature deaths every year,' said Kerry Guerlin, attorney from Communities for a Better Environment Action."
