FOIA and the coming US Carbon Tax via the US Treasury

[clearvision]

Watts Up With That:

Guest Post by Christopher Horner, CEI

 

In November, I and CEI sued the Department of the Treasury to produce emails and other records mentioning “carbon”. See Joint_Scheduling_Agreement PDF

 

I sought emails and other documents from two offices: Environment and Energy (really), and Legislative Affairs. This action after the administration first ignored us, which they followed with an unfortunate stumble, trying to delay us with fees — even absurd and surely anti-’green’ ones, like $1,800 to photocopy electronic mail, typically copied on a disc for no charge — which fees, even when they’re not mindlessly trumped up like that one, not-for-profit groups which disseminate government information are exempt by statute from paying.

Sort of technical in presentation, but for those interested in carbon tax efforts in the US worth the read. Note the Treasury is even getting advice to look to Iran on how to implement "energy control".
