A slew of factors could be plugged in to come up with different prices.

Another biased, corrupt computer model, just like the climate "science" one.

Garbage in, garbage out.

“Once you price CO2 and put a price on it, you find, as you would with any other product, it tends to be rationed. We as a people on this planet have lived under the false concept that air and water were free. And we’ve learned with a planet of 7 billion people, that we have to ration these precious goods. And the good old price system is the best way to do it.”

Richard Sandor, father of the carbon market.

Once carbon dioxide is accepted as a taxable pollutant, what is to stop the .GOV from assessing a breathing tax on each of us?

Each of us produces approximately 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per day, or ~840 pounds per year. That's 126 million tons of CO2 per year from the US population.

What does it matter if CO2 is produced by cars or by human respiration? The environment doesn't know or care where it comes from. Why tax cars and not breathing?

I went to graduate school at the wrong time. I was taught that prices were determined by the interaction of willing buyers and sellers. I was taught the prices were the signals that allied supply and demand. I may have to be put in a reeducation camp because my thinking is outdated. We do not need markets any longer. We just need the wise government officials with the politically correct view points.

When they get the all electric cars up to good mileage per charge currently it is around 100 miles. I will be buying the new car and avoid all the scams on gas taxes. Here in Kansas a few years ago the state senate raised state tax on gas by 3-5 cents it was for the roads. What happened? They began to use the gas tax for everything but fixing the roads.

the social cost of carbon is nothing. It has no impact whatsoever on the environment. All lies to the contrary are attempts to enslave free people.

What Is the Right Price for Carbon?

Heck, I can make it myself. Just put some pine logs in an old drum and then heat it over a fire. After it cooks about a day or two, open it and the logs have turned to carbon.

Feel free to have my response pulled by I'm going to say it.

We're going to have to kill these people. It's the only way to save what little is left of the Republic. They're never going to stop with this crap until we do.

Now, do what you will.

Just wait until your Form 1040 has a box next to your Social Security number that asks your weight. Then directs you to adjust your amounts on a Carbon Schedule.

The agency incorporated a preliminary price of $21 for every ton of carbon dioxide expelled from vehicles to help reach its new standard of 35.5 miles per gallon in 2016. That amounts to about 20 cents per gallon or, as two economists claim, a level that's "far too small a price incentive to prompt substantive mitigation measures."
I wonder how many economists thrown down elevator shafts it would take to have the entire profession STFU about the global warming hoax?
