No. 101 - State Greenhouse Gas Programs: An Economic and Scientific Analysis: Impact on Montana

The likely cost of a Montana-only greenhouse gas program to consumers and businesses -- $3.0 billion -- can be divided by the number of households in the state to reveal the cost per household of a typical greenhouse gas program. The actual costs would vary depending on choices made by policymakers. There were 0.4 million households in Montana in 2000, so the cost per household could be $8,098.
