A
senior White House official claims that Tesla CEO Elon
Musk floated the idea of a carbon tax at a White House U.S. business leaders
meeting with Trump on Monday, January 23rd. Other executives at the meeting
apparently did not lend the idea much support. Outside the meeting though, a
range of political and corporate leaders, including President Barack Obama,
Vice President Al Gore, Virgin CEO Richard Branson and World Bank President Jim
Yong Kim, have supported the idea of a carbon tax as a means of combating
climate change.
