What’s going to be taxed on that carbon tax thing?

All carbon based energy sources.

A gallon of gasoline will increase 20-30 cents/gallon, to include diesel.

Increasing the cost of fuels will make goods and services cost more, (trucks and trains deliver our goods).Coal electricity providers, (and there are several in Washington), will raise their rates, (to offset the "carbon tax" on them).

Washington natural gas will raise their rates, (same reason).

Their will be no winners except for more tax revenue going to Olympia.

As usual, the middle-class and poor will suffer the most with added costs that are already high.

And, of course, it will do absolutely NOTHING to save the Erf.

Our state is starting to resemble California.

Yeah, and when the state collapses they’ll try to blame Republicans; problem is, there’s no Republicans to blame. Things will come to a grinding halt. Those that live near the OR border will do okay though. I believe though that should gas hit $4-5/gal there will be some upset folks. It’s running around $3.79/gal about now.
