#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

@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

"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."

Two articles that I think go together... #Chevron (and other #polluters) hate #MakePollutersPay initiatives, and threaten to charge MORE rather than CUT CEO's pay (now at over $25 mllion)! Um...

RICHMOND, Calif. (KGO) -- "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 [how much is Tolly making, eh?], making it clear that the company is against a refinery tax, dubbed the '#PollutersPay Initiative.'

Vermont's Climate Superfund Act, forcing oil companies to pay into a disaster recovery fund, is now law! As Hill Heat first reported, the Vermont Senate passed it with a veto-proof majority on May 10th. It was delivered to Gov. Phil Scott's desk on May 24th, and he didn't veto it (there's no pocket veto in Vt), so it became law yesterday!

Big Oil caused our climate crises — they should be the ones to pay for it.
➡️ #SB1497 sets up a fund to make #PollutersPay for the damage they’ve done.
➡️ This ensures that those responsible for the climate crisis, not Californian taxpayers, bear the financial burden of addressing its dire consequences.

#PricePollution: Wear and tear on #tires and #brakes produce more #particlepollution, by mass, than #car #exhaustsystems... fine #particles (known as PM 2.5, with diameters up to 2.5 microns) and #ultrafine particles (known as PM 0.1, with diameters of 100 nanometers), which can enter through our #bloodstream and harm our #organs.
@MeanwhileinCanada And decision-makers can use the Liability Roadmap to hold Big Polluters liable: https://liabilityroadmap.org #ClimateJustice #ClimateCrisis #PollutersPay #ExxonKnew
For us to have a future as a species, we must kick Big Polluters out of climate talks. It’s that’s simple. Remember: progress on tobacco control only happened when Big Tobacco was barred from interfering in treaty negotiations. It’s no different here. Naming one of the heads of the oil industry to run #COP28 is the latest example of how climate talks have turned into a circus. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #PollutersOut #PollutersPay

Friendly reminder that your favorite policymaker — be they local, regional, national, or transnational — can hold accountable the sociopath arsonists burning our world and threatening to bring about our collective extinction just so they can make even more money. Why? Because we can then fund at scale the #ClimateSolutions we already have for the #ClimateCrisis. Here’s how: https://liabilityroadmap.org

Big Polluters have fueled the climate crisis, funded climate denial, and blocked just climate progress for decades.
