Change Carbon tax to "Pollution tax" -- even on the topic of global warming, methane and nitrous oxide are potentially more harmful, and a pollution tax is far more future proof for capturing externalities.
- fastball 6y ago*pollution tax that can be reduced to zero if you are capturing (not necessarily at production) the pollutant you're emitting. e.g. SpaceX shouldn't be taxed on CO2 release from their Raptor engines if they are getting all their methane via the Sabatier process.
- jdc 6y agoI'm sure they'd get capture credits.
