Yes, heated homes and cooled offices. The governor of WA State passed the first in the country, carbon tax on oil and gas production and refining. This tax is going to be passed on to consumers in seven western states, where the fossil fuel products are used. CA uses diesel fuel to produce electricity in the summer months. So, the high cost of keeping cool in the summer will be even higher. I suggest that CA shut down the air conditioning in government offices and public buildings before they do the rolling Black outs.
I understand how this would affect consumer prices in WA, but how does this affect consumers in the other 7 western states?
