All consumers will very shortly be paying the price for the fuel that is wasted using inefficient internal combustion engines as a disincentive compared to EVs. Also, consumers could capture the CO2 upon combustion themselves or may not ever transform the fuel they purchase into CO2 (gas leaking, etc.). Getting rid of the oil subsidies and enhancing those for non-carbon energy sources would be so much simpler and more effective than bickering over what would be the marginally least unaccountable tax for reducing the use of carbon based fuels. The day the government gets rid of subsidies for oil will be the first day I actually consider solar along with any tax rebates. This article is a written by a yuppie. Over the course of just a few weeks, a major fire can pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than California’s many climate change programs can save in 12 months.
