A good way to solve this is rationing. It prevent over consumption, brings down prices and helps the poor.

  Rationing? You do rationing when there's not enough of something to go to everyone. What product needs rationing? Do you think there's a shortage of bread, or milk, or gasoline, or anything else? Of course, being on HN, I'm aware of the GPU shortage. I'm all in for rationing the GPUs.

    There is a shortage of reduced CO2 emissions it's not just about the shortage, it's also to prevent abuse and so it can be available for everyone price increase is a good signal that a resource is getting stressed

      > so it can be available for everyone Exactly what is not available to everyone? Did you go to a grocery store and could not find bread? It never happened to me. How would this rationing that you talk about work? Everyone is allowed to buy just 1 loaf of bread per day? One stick of butter? Who would vote for such a measure? Not sure if you remember, but we still live in a democracy. How would you argue the need for rationing to voters? Without some extraordinarily strong arguments, voters will not give you their vote. Rationing is not something the US ever did in peacetime.
