Carbon taxes need to be introduced in every country. Alternative energy sources to be used instead of relying heavily on fossil fuels: oil and gasoline. Increase carbon tax should help investment into research and development of alternative energy sources. If it means higher oil prices and higher electric bills then that is a the price we must all pay to help save the planet from extinction. 

 


All carbon tax is, is another tax on the wealthy. I hate that idea.

Now I do agree we should use alternative energy sources like solar, wind, etc. for electricity and hybrid/electric cars but fuck carbon tax.

Alternative energy sources and preaching  environmentalist policies is supported by some of the wealthiest people on the planet. 

Governments on both side of politics in a lot of countries are working on implementing new carbon taxes because they all know they can tax people and can get more money to bring them more power. Carbon taxes can be dressed up as a goods and service tax or a levy which applies to all businesses and citizens who must contribute based on their energy consumption. 

A flat rate of carbon tax could be  put in place by the government and once a tax is in it is hard to remove. More ethanol added to dilute gasoline. Bio-fuel is a green clean fuel that can be used to run your motor vehicle and help saves the planet.
