I have no problem with all carbon intensive industries paying for their pollution. I think it would be silly for governments to go around mandating and regulating every little thing that uses energy. Simply tax at the source.
Will that make my power bill go up? Yeah. Will that mean it costs more to fill my tank? Yeah. Whatever. I'm totally fine with that. If it's revenue neutral I'll be getting most of it back on my income taxes anyway. Bonus, this now lets me reduce my carbon footprint and pay less taxes.
TLDR: Want less carbon? Tax carbon!
- fredfoobar 5y agoThanks, A carbon tax will be a boon for stranded/wasted energy as well, I wouldn't see why a bitcoin mining operation can't use better sources of energy to mine and be more profitable. It's based on consuming electricity for starters (not natural gas), unlike say ICE vehicles which can't switch to another source of energy.
