Still no one has answered my question, what will force the polluters to change their ways to reduce my power cost and reduce CO2 ??

I do not believe the tax will make that happen

$23 a ton

950 grams of CO2 is evolved for every KWh of coal fire electricity produced. Note that for natural gas it is more like 600 g per KWh for natural gas powered plants.

so thats 1 ton per every 1000kwh

so an average household uses 10000kwh per year thats $230 annually per household or in my case $40 extra each power bill which is an addiotnal 70 cents per day roughly
