Yahoo finance mentioned that a carbon tax proposal was being made to help balance the budget. The intent of this thread is to assume that eventually something like this will be instituted somewhere even if just locally and will eventually affect all of us.
I realize that this topic could become heated if people chose to but offer it as a way to start changing our lives to be less of a problem and less of a cost in the future. In a way I expect it to be an asset tax in that larger homes, larger autos, and more affluent people would tend to pay more. I would assume that the poorest of the poor at least in the US would have some subsidy to offset at least part of the tax.
I suppose shipping costs will become higher as well as the usual conservation green initiatives would come into play as well.
Anyone else trying to preplan for this?
