The Clintons did more than "toy" with carbon taxes. Had it not been for one Democrat Party senator, David Boren of Oklahoma, we'd have a BTU tax on every level of energy.

Though the Clintons pushed it, the BTU tax was Al Gore's baby, from it's birth to it's death.
It took the WH to bring in Daniel Moynihan to tell Gore, face to face, "No Way Jose".

If Gore decides to run again,(shudder) the BTU tax will have a rebirth (double shudder)
