Quote by: Mr.Vicchio  Until a candidate embraces the only true solution to Global Warming none of them do.
We need to pass a "Global Warming Carbon Tax" that invests all the money into "Carbon Credits" to offset the USA's carbon footprint. Think about it, if the USA did that, we'd be the greenest country in the world, and just like the high flying, rich apostoles of the "Global Warming Movement" we could carry on without hurting our standard of living. |
This was done in California already but it did not lead to anyone making bio fuels obtainable nor did it prevent people from buying gas to get to work. It was effected to in the hopes of reducing smog.
What happened as a result is that delivery vehicles had to pay more for gas and the products being delivered went up in price to cover that extra overhead. The state then become dependant upon the regular plus the extra sin tax on gasoline as a income resource for the states budget, and so when the oil company raised the cost of gasoline per gal the state got more taxes per gal and did nothing to charge the oil companies with "price goreing the public". Vehicles that offered electirc hybred power were too expensive for the average citizen to afford.
Using sin taxes to control the population is bad politics. First invest in the production of biofuels and create outlets for the sales of that product and make it cheaper then fosil fuel gasoline or flat out make fosil fuel unlawful for use in automobles. Put the horse before the kart.
Anyway you cannot tax the whole world, only the people in a particular country can be taxed by their own methods of governing.
We could in fact solve many problems with biofuels such as the cost of health care, global warming (if it is not too late), and we could teach 3rd world countries how to grow and produce biofuels for export and that might end some of their poverty problems.
