For good reasons too. One of the things that bugs me about these kinds of bills is the idea of "carbon taxes." Why penalize? Why not incentivize instead? Maybe they want to bolster the prison industrial complex too by making criminals out of ordinary citizens. Around here they want to penalize people for using too much water. Why not give discounts instead if people use less? Bureaucrats and love their little power trips. I'm thinking of going in front of the city council and telling them to stop fascist tactics and use positive approaches. But they're probably too stupid to understand.
