Urge Congress to create national carbon tax with revenue returned to taxpayers
In Plain English
The city wants to formally ask Congress to tax carbon emissions nationwide. Under this approach, companies pay fees for pollution but all tax revenue gets returned to citizens as rebates. Richmond cannot create carbon taxes itself since only federal government controls interstate commerce.
