Agree

No, tax carbon emissions instead

Klobuchar has expressed support for market-based mechanisms like carbon pricing, including a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, as part of a broader climate strategy. However, she does not see these as a substitute for regulation, but rather as a complement, so she would somewhat agree but not as a sole solution.
