The government should try to do something about this situation.
But unless they can conjure up that it is manmade, and a way to tax it, it may not prove a fertile option to exploit.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee would be perfectly happy to come up with a $10BILLION dollar fine for the ash and carbon discharge and then prorate it to every Washington resident. He's already proposing adding another $1.17 to our gas tax which is 2nd highest in the nation.
