We already have a carbon tax, you pay it when you buy the carbon. 3 cents per liter federally and an additional 18 cents per liter in California specifically. | ||

Some European countries have total taxes to the tune of 90+ cents per liter (50-60% tax) with current gas prices, for reference. (~65ct/l for the energy/carbon tax, specifically) I don’t think that level is sufficient to cover the externalities. | ||

This tax is only assessed on road transportation. It ignores aviation, industry, or any one of the other sources of carbon. | ||
