The inconvenient truth is that there isn't enough pie to go around. Sometimes the wind or solar isn't generating. A carbon tax would force people to cut down their footprint and be more selective about how they use carbon and at the same time it would encourage investment into green energy storage solutions since they are now worth the same as taxed carbon. It's pretty difficult to get competitive profit driven companies to care when the best option right now is to buy fake carbon credits and keep on polluting for cheap.
