==Cap and Dividend==

Maria Cantwell is a strong believer of the [[anthropogenic global warming theory]], claiming [[humans]] are the cause of alleged [[climate change]]. In the wake of rising oil prices, Cantwell has stated that she wants to "help relieve the burden of gas prices on families and small businesses," by promoting a carbon tax in a simpler version of the [[cap-and-trade]] bill, called "cap-and-dividend."<ref>http://soundpolitics.com/archives/014781.html</ref><ref>http://www.economist.com/node/15453166</ref> Cap-and-dividend would raise [[energy]] prices, including increasing the price of everything that requires energy to make or distribute. Under her bill, the [[government]] would impose a ceiling on [[carbon]] emissions each year, but only for corporations. Producers and importers of [[fossil fuels]] will have to buy permits as a carbon tax. Cap-and-dividend would set a price on carbon, and the permits would be auctioned, raising vast sums of money. According to Maria Cantwell, most of that money would be divided evenly among all [[Americans]].
