> I'm thinking especially of the companies trying to sequester carbon in the wells they empty - they end up making money both ways. Sure, but the reason solar panels are popular is because they're (mostly) the cheapest way to generate power. By adding an additional tax to petroleum products based on say sequestering costs (as opposed to some made-up I won't chop down a forest offset) it encourages non-petroleum products to be used. It's basically a tariff for clean energy.
