I'm not a fan of the carbon tax because, for me, it's not about creating a new market. It's about regulation, and making big oil disappear.

Like, real talk, I'm fine breathing carbon. Lol I'll snort it. It's the particulate matter, the ozone, the NOx that get me.

But you won't hear experts talking about particulate matter, taxing ozone, taxing NOx, and taxing the things that are killing us.

Make sense, tho: It's not secret that people who look like me and my neighbors don't get to create climate and environmental policy.

Wasn't able to quote anyone on carbon tax—it's the sacred cow of climate wonks and no one wants to go against the grain. Except for me lol.
