🌲 Environment
Washington’s latest carbon auction raised $322 million by selling current allowances at $58.51 each, and critics say Ecology’s program may raise gas prices (some predict a 6-cent increase per gallon).
The auction also sold future allowances for use starting in 2028 and critics argue that the CO2 tax may push fuel costs higher compared to nearby areas.
