I get what you’re saying, but I’m almost 100% sure that all you would achieve is spurring the development of new and inventive forms of tax evasion. Not to mention, the companies you intend to tax have a huge amount of political sway, and would likely try to put loopholes and exceptions for themselves and special penalties for others in order to weaponize the tax code to attack their competitors. I’m fairly certain that the end result would be no reduction in emissions whatsoever, but the formation of a number of new monopolies along with the price gouging and stagnation that comes with them. Now of course, none of that implies that I have a better idea, currently. Except for maybe the replacement of winner-take-all capitalism with something better.
