More “legalized theft by the state

Carbon tax = tax on carbon-based fuels = limits on the use of carbon-based fuels = cutting permissible forms of energy by some 90%
Automobiles cannot yet run on any kind of atomic reactor, and the long-term storage of electricity is still a very expensive proposition, in terms of reliable AND inexpensive batteries. So most of the energy we use on a daily basis is reliant in some way on carbon-based “fossil” fuels. Even natural gas, composed mostly of methane, is a carbon-based fuel, and still subject to this pernicious tax.
And capping nuclear power output to 63.2 gigawatts. No further economic growth for France.
Is there anything they don’t tax over there?
The U.S. progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party will be doing the same shortly now they have a ready made template.
