Honestly my main beef is carbon taxes aren't a real solution yet they're the go to talking point for Democrats. I don't see them as the end of the world, just unnecessary and possibly politically counter productive.
I agree carbon taxes are essentially worthless but do you think it's politically counter productive to not do anything against oil companies who actively lobby and spread propaganda (funding Prager U and right wing talking heads and such) to kill anything that hurts their business model? Are they not literally The Enemy, or one of them at least?
