I would be all for a new “carbon tax” on fuel IF the money went into a fund that could only be used to build things like: electric railways, nuclear power plants, wind/solar energy plants, energy-efficient public transportation systems, etc…

However, that is not what’s going to happen. They’re going to take that $$$ and throw it in the general fund with your Social Security and Medicare money and spend it dropping bombs on third world people and bailing out their criminal buddies on Wall Street. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.
