Are we soley taxing corporations that have carbon emissions or is it an all encompassing tax on all emissions including drivers. I know for a fact that under this capitalistic umbrella i cannot afford a reliable EV for another 10 years. If i would have to be taxed as a driver so that the governement can take more of my money, and use it on wars and and weapons, then i see no point in taxing the American people even more than they are taxed.

That's a valid point. If a carbon tax were to be implemented, the specifics of its structure would indeed be critical. For instance, in Sweden, they implemented a carbon tax back in 1991, focusing primarily on companies. However, they also provided subsidies and incentives for individuals and companies to switch to cleaner alternatives, which balanced the financial impact. This strategy led to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In your opinion, could a similar approach work in the United States, given the differences in the economic and political climate?
