Carbon Tax

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Cap and trade would work better

Not really. While there are some pollutants for which cap and trade works, the nature of carbon emissions makes the consumption tax method better. There are a wide number of small emitters, so issuing trading credits would be both cumbersome and present many opportunities for fraud.

There should be an incentive instead of a tax to encourage renewable energy sources so no.

Incentives both pick specific technologies and are an incentive to fraud. As a general rule they should be avoided.
