On July 19, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a nonbinding resolution condemning carbon tax policy. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., introduced the measure, which claimed that a carbon tax “will increase the cost of every good manufactured in the United States” and insisted that “American families will be harmed the most.”

But not all Republicans agree. Six GOP representatives voted against the bill, and Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., is set to introduce a carbon tax bill that would help cut down our country’s carbon emissions. It’s clear that the conservative caucus is divided — but they really shouldn’t be. The GOP ought to realize that, if done correctly, climate change policy can be completely consistent with conservative principles.
