      Taxes just become prices for being evil when targeted this way, they don’t solve the fundamental reason for the existence of the issue. Solve the problem, don’t band-aid it.

        Use the taxes to subsidise green alternatives. Carbon taxes on fuel get spent on building bike lanes for example.
