Institute a carbon tax and I'm sure we'll find out soon enough



For sure; I didn’t realize sensible systemic reforms were on the table.

I’m not sure if any of these things would be the first on the chopping block if a carbon tax were implemented, but it is worth a shot.


They're probably above the median on the scale of actually useful human activities; there's a lot of stuff carbon tax would eat first.


Yup, but even for the useful stuff, a greater price of carbon-intensive energy would change some about how you consider doing it.
