Don't get me wrong either, I understand the benefits of a Carbon tax, in that it is a driver to steer people away from fossil fuels. In my mind, where the tax falls short is 1) money getting rebated to people and 2) actually seeing the change of peoples purchases from FF's to less or no carbon intensive fuels will take a long time, unless that tax is significantly increased. Considering those 2 points, I think a better way to allocate that money is to put it in Clean Energy Fund, like that which helped financed the ATL. We will actually see tangible benefits of the tax, i.e. this project will help reduce the equivalent of currently 339,000 vehicles, with the potential to reduce to almost 3 million vehicles. My question is, how long would it take to just have a carbon tax that is simply rebated to people that would reduce the same as the ATL?
