Payment for use of the shared gasses known as the atmosphere may be an important improvement and makes sense as an extension of carbon taxes paid by automakers and other industries. This tax is invisibly passed on to consumers although perhaps intended to encourage improved fuel economy. Consider all classes atmospheric takings (either by consumption of elements like oxygen or dispersal of particulates or other gases), why not make everyone pay to the value found in atmospheric use?
An example of this is already found in Colorado, where cans of supplemental oxygen can be found in gas stations and grocery stores.
