Key U.S. Senate Republican Adds Voice to Growing Carbon Tax Chorus. Platt Inside Energy, subscription, January 8, 2009. "A Republican US senator and emerging voice on energy issues said Thursday he would support the creation of a price for carbon, as long as it took the form of a carbon tax rather than a cap-and-trade system. 'What we need to do with the American people is be transparent, and if carbon is something that is bad, and we want to deal with, and we want to tax it, we'd do much better to have a carbon tax rather than a cap-and-trade system,' Tennessee Senator Bob Corker said."
