- Isinlor 5y agoThat's about the cost of removing CO2 at industrial scale today. And yes, I'm supporter of overall carbon tax. Preferably something like European Union Emission Trading Scheme [0] where at some point we can just ban unmitigated emissions into the atmosphere. I have no issue with people spending as much resources on bitcoin or any other crypto as they want as long as they clean up after themselves. Actually it should include the whole package of externalities - CO2, electronic waste pollution etc. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emission_Trading_Scheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emission_Tradin...
