Except many countries have carbon tax
- chopin 7y agoWhich ones would that be? I know of many which have a tax on various forms of energy consumption. And even then, industrial consumers are exempt or have a reduced rate.
- Danieru 7y agoHeres a document explaining things from 2017 issues by the Japanese government. I remember reading it a few days ago, interesting for the context: http://www.env.go.jp/en/policy/tax/20170130_greening.pdf http://www.env.go.jp/en/policy/tax/20170130_greening.pdf IMHO, the first step is to migrate coal power plants to capture and storage. It is much easier to drop emissions than to pull from the air. I would like to see more tax pressure globally incentivizing carbon release reductions. Instead you get weird stuff like Japan's carbon tax where coal pays the lowest carbon tax of gasoline and diesel.
