The current tax, 2.4 cents per litre, is a complete joke. It won't change behavior until it's at least 10 times that much and until the money collected goes straight into alternatives.<br /><br />For all their good intentions I'm not sure I can even trust the Green party to put carbon tax revenue into meaningful projects without some of it finding its way into the hands of supporters. It simply takes too much money to get elected these days for politicians to be free of such indebtedness once in office. Given the track record of the alternatives, however, I'm definitely voting Green this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
