Make big polluters pay, give money back to consumers
In
contrast to the belief that dependency on high carbon-producing energy sources
will ensure economic benefits to those living in poverty, the pope brought out a
different perspective.
Dependency
on coal, gas and oil will further erode the living standards of the poor.
Reducing traditional energy dependence and moving to solar, wind and other
less-damaging resources will improve the economics of the poor, with jobs in new
industry, less forest devastation, better fishing opportunities and lower health
costs for everyone.
Citizens
Climate Lobby proposes fees, charged to present-day big polluters, be returned
directly to consumers, thus helping everyone. Now that is religion.
