...and my position, which i will restate here, is that i'm carbon-tax-neutral.

if it works as a money generating scheme for green infrastructure projects, and the government needs the accounting trick to sleep at night, then whatever. i'm not going to oppose taxing pollution.

but, i'm beyond skeptical of the actual efficacy of pigovian taxation schemes. the actual mechanism won't work - we need to print oodles of money and spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend.

my tentative support is really as a first step in the absence of a better plan.

but, they couldn't even do it right....
