      No way this could turn into a massive rent-collection scheme with huge, unaccountable flows of money...https://twitter.com/KaiterEnless/status/1050448904116994048 …

      Correct. As regards their plans for carbon - they propose a tax of up to $5,000 per ton of carbon dioxide by 2030, growing to $27,000 per ton by 2100, per their latest report (carbon average presently is $8). https://twitter.com/gtaogle/status/1050447906954797056 …

      By structure, taxes do two things 1. they suppress an activity (first) 2. they reinforce a minimum level of that activity to maintain revenue (second)

      In my view there should be general energy taxes, not a carbon tax. All realms have limited energy resources and would like to limit how fast they are consumed, but no realm wants to cut off their use entirely. Solar, wind and hydro ought to be taxed too.

          The reasoning behind general energy taxes is that all energy generation produces pollution. If you find a way to generate energy that doesn't pollute, that is because it produces a form of pollution we don't yet recognize fully. Tax defrays these costs which are born by the realm

          *borne For example: hydro disrupts a river's ecosystem solar reflects light and takes up space, also panels may produce pollution in cleaning, repair and manufacture wind alters the airflow, may kill birds (big ones def. do), noise pollutes.

          the big problem people have with "capitalism" exists in green power generation too, that is, people carve extra profit by dumping externalities on the realm without compensation. This is obvious when a sweatshop is working people to death, but not as obvious with solar panels.

          I'm not anti-capitalist; the realm does want talented and ambitious people to exploit the resources it has available - but abuse of them degrades the general worthiness of the realm to enrich particular persons who then, often, take their benefits elsewhere.
