The conclusion of their editorial today:

As the Senate begins to look beyond the health-care fight, the question legislators should be asking is not whether to put a price on carbon. It’s how to do it best.

Good luck on that one. The fact that unemployment, under the most conservative of measures, hovers around 10 percent and that the Washington Post itself reports this morning that the unemployment numbers look to get worse over the next few months will make any job-killing carbon price not very palatable, especially with seven months until election day.
