> All the proposed carbon tax schemes I've seen are a carbon tax and dividend - you tax carbon, and redistribute the profits to those who can't afford the higher prices. UK energy bills are something like this. About 15% of a dual fuel bill goes both on subsidising renewables and social payments. > The other issue we have in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) is that the cost of energy is borne by the tenant, but the cost of renovations would be borne by the landlord. This means that landlords have no incentive to improve the energy efficiency of their houses, and tenants have no ability to. We should be changing that - make landlords of energy inefficient houses pay for it. All rented properties (unless with an excemption) will have to achieve a EPC rating of "E" by 2023 and by 2025 will have to achieve "C". The intention is for that to rise to "B" by 2030: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/970192/non-domestic-prs-mees-epc-b-future-trajectory-implementation.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...
