I just want one simple question answered.
If lower income people are going to be reimbursed "via the collected tax"
to try and keep them happy, what happens in the following scenario?
a) Polluting power industry pays heaps of tax, hence price rises are just passed on till other renewables become cost effective.
b) Everyone builds "renewable" energy plants based on higher prices
(probably using dodgy finance etc to fund the builds )
c) Polluting industries are put out of business
At this point, we are still paying the higher prices,
( as the renewables cant lower their costs )
but we now have no polluting industry to pay tax to allow the
govt to reimburse the poor.
How are the poorer members of society now reimbursed
or do we just accept that we are all getting screwed????
