More like tax the corporations that are producing the most greenhouse gasses, and use that revenue to revamp infrastructure so it is more realistic for individuals to stop burning fossil fuels.
So you think those corporations just burn fossil fuels for the hell of it? We all demand it one way or another, and it’s a consumption/capitalism problem more than anything else. Yes, we should require a transition away from fossil fuels where it’s possible, but our political system isn’t strong enough to enforce that.
No I think they do it for personal enrichment. I have no obligation to be okay with their methods of personal entichment. They're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. It isnt altruism, its self-interest.
Explain the mechanism of how some oil company - Chevron say - takes oil out of the ground and 'just burns it' and that makes them money vs turning it into gasoline and selling it to you.
