Problem is simply taxing CO2 punishes people for decisions they made years ago. Going to punish some working guy making $20/hr because he bought a used Crown Victoria in 2010? Or offer to buy it back and give them a down payment grant to put them in a newer hybrid/electric? Lot less blow back in the latter option. It's also what California is doing right now.

It's a fantasy that green energy is not going to punish people, including some working guy. It's already happening. See gas prices, natural gas prices. With a CO2 tax, the revenue can be used to reduce the sales tax.
