Dan,
Do you suppose that the international carbon tax agency would be like when they initiate a state lottery that promises to bring in lots of money to fix a problem like schools, or increase sin taxes to support affordable health care?

Hawaii is totally dependent (except for military largess) on status-quo tourism. In fact, Chad Blair just did a cheerleading piece on how tourist visits to Hawaii are up. If, and when, there are future restrictions on fossil fuel use which decreases tourism - Hawaii would become the Tuvalu of economic/lifestyle changes - as is Tuvalu the poster child for climate change today.
