Moe concerned feds’ ‘social cost of carbon’ could lead to much higher carbon tax, pave way for Clean Electricity Standard impossible for SK to meet
All of this has Moe concerned not only about Guilbeault floating a trial balloon about a possible higher carbon tax, but how this “social cost of carbon” could be used by the federal government as justification for its proposed Clean Electricity Standard. If implemented in its current form, that standard would mean the end of natural gas and coal power production, except in exceptional circumstances, by 2035. There have been numerous days this past winter where up to 86 per cent of Saskatchewan’s power generation came from natural gas and coal combined.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announces “social cost of carbon.” Could this mean a $247/tonne carbon tax?
On Wednesday, April 19, federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change announced a new “social cost of carbon.” In this video post on Twitter, he referenced a newly evaluated “social cost” of $247 per tonne of CO2. He noted that previously the cost of “carbon pollution” had been evaluated at $54 per tonne CO2e, which closely correlated with the original carbon tax level, as it was first announced.
