Compared to current amounts of cultivation, that sounds like a lot, but that is only the seaweed that humans consume.
Mass-scale seaweed production has been thrown around as a method for sequestering CO2.
Methane itself could be sequestered as well.
Either way, I'm fine with a beef tax to cover some of those costs, but lower-income groups might. I'm not keen on forcing an inferior diet on them.
- ablation 6y agoYou can avoid eating beef without being "forced" an "inferior diet". In fact it would probably be better for people to NOT eat beef.
- gridlockd 6y agoIt is inferior by my standards, not yours. Your standards do not matter when it comes to my diet, and vice versa. I am not forcing my standards on lower income people anyway, but supporting a tax that hurts them and not me seems wrong.

Having the quota separate from the price would be about help people who don’t have much money quite a bit. It would also lead to higher meat quality; what would the point of buying McDonalds with a piece of your quota worth fifty bucks.
