Due to the abject poverty that a carbon phase out will cause in countries implementing it, as it means the end of fossil fuel usage, it is CRITICAL that other countries not be permitted to sell their carbon-based fuels around the world, as Americans and Europeans will not be very happy to see present-day Third World countries like Mexico and Egypt quickly surpass our standard of living.

Hence the need for regime change in Russia, in particular, due to their tremendous resources.

GREEN ENERGY CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST. PUTTING THE LIE TO THE GREEN SCAM!

I thought at first it said Climate, Texas. I wondered where the heck that was.

Carbon tax made some sense when we were merely trying to reduce the use of carbon-based fuel a little.

It makes no sense when the target is zero carbon-based fuel.

A small tax on carbon-based fuel, when there’s A LOT, generates meaningful revenue. This revenue can be used for new programs, even to subsidize wind and solar, or to reduce other taxes. (I favored the later.)

BUT the tax on carbon-based fuel generates no revenue when the goal is zero use of carbon-based fuel. (This is a general rule in economics, and is called the Laffer Curve. A small tax generates lots of revenue, but a bog tax generates little or no revenue.)

GIVEN the goal of zero, actually, net zero emissions, the strategy should be something like growing trees. Growing trees will pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, offsetting the emission of CO2 from the burning of carbon-based fuel, getting us to net zero.

If a carbon tax is for the purpose of, e.g., irrigating deserts and semi-arid regions so as to promote the growth of tress, then a tax of maybe 25 cents per gallon of gasoline would do the job.

We wouldn’t need any subsidies for wind or solar. Plus, we could get America’s energy sector back to work.

Trees.

Remember, Trump committed us to the Trillion Tree March. This commitment, if fulfilled, would totally eliminate all human-emitted CO2 since the industrial revolution got underway.

Trump had climate change right.

There is a carbon tax in place. It’s in refineries having to buy RIN’s -— carbon credits. I read recently it adds about $1 to a gallon of gas.

, including Ms. Yellen. She is a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, a bipartisan group that has put forward a detailed plan for a carbon tax starting at $43 per ton with proceeds rebated to households as a “carbon dividend.”

So I pay different companies, say, $1200 extra for their pass-through carbon tax. The Gov't takes $1000 of the actual tax from them. Then I get an extra $100 credit on my taxes.

How about that. Free money for me!!!

I still wonder just how they are going to power up these all-electric cars, WHEN everyone has their electric car, they all come home and plug it in and BOOM, the electric grid explodes. We are already have electric grid blow up because of no electric power. We are going to power ourselves into walking or using a buggy. We cannot power all these vehicle up at night because we come home, plug her up, turn on every light in the house, TV, computers, yada, yada and the grid blows. We are short power now. Grids are OLD.

Our telephone has broken down three times in the past couple of months. The AT&T guy called me from a pole he was up on, trying to get me a line that worked. He told me that AT&T was going to shut our lines down because there are only 7 0r 8 people using a land line out there where we live. Lines are 40-50 years old, falling apart, and AT&T ain't gonna pay $2 billion to put them back up for only a few lines. Everyone is on cells, etc. now, so they will just tear them all down. Only reason I have the danged thing is for our home security service. So I called the security guy and he came out the next day and put up this gadget inside my house that makes my home protection now act like just another cell phone. It will send a message to them on cell service. He put it in, we checked it out, worked great, so now no need for AT&T, so I called and shut down the account. They tried everything to get me to take cell, home protection, you name it, to stay. I said bye. Don't need you anymore. It is your own fault that I am leaving, so bye.
