There’s tons of energy out there. It’s not feasible to switch our infrastructure to using those forms of energy using them as effectively as cheaply as we do fossil fuels. One of the benefits to carbon taxes is unironically rationing. We will run out of oil slower. We value keeping oil in the ground WAY too lowly, that basically preserves it indefinitely for free, in a form that doesn’t result in environmental chaos. I don’t know why people don’t think of oil in the ground as a strategic reserve.
