I agree with your philosophical stance, however carbon taxes are unfortunately a pipe dream in the US, at least. Look at Washington, a liberal bastion, which was not even close to passing their carbon tax ballot initiative. In this political climate and this atmosphere of denial and propaganda, unfortunately morality is one of the only actually effective weapons left to those who actually care about the environment and the planet. It's all fine and good to prefer a carbon tax, but if that's all you push for, NOTHING has gotten done in this country on that score.
The other ways to make a difference, besides pushing hard against the very negative and misery-causing emissions, are to innovate tech, to make clean energy experiences better for consumers, and to push tangentially related policies like EV credits, solar credits, and other policies which help non-toxic energy sources.
- amluto 8y agoI highly support a carbon tax, but I'm unconvinced it makes that much sense on a state level.
