> People when carbon capture: This stinks of redirecting tax money. Hold accountable. > People when carbon tax: You made inflation high. Get out! This is quite a funny observation. And true. The general psychological bias is when immediate known losses are standing against unknown future gains. Also Americans in particular are allergic to the term tax. A carbon tax would be the most hands-off way to solve the problem. Ideally phased in slowly and with a clear price structure from the get-go. All you need is: - industry needs to know how much they will be taxed in X years, so the bean counters can put it in their projections so execs listen - the tax needs to be tight enough so you can’t escape through tax “planning” aka move operations to unregulated countries The rest takes care of itself. Once there’s a tangible measurable cost things will change quickly from green leaf-decorated “we care”-pamphlets to fire in the ass of the decision makers.
