Does a Carbon Tax work?

[RWT101]

Don't forget that this carbon tax is revenue 'neutral' and nobody will get hurt. LOL

A CARBON TAX will NOT do what the primary reason for imposing it is, and that is -

STOP GLOBAL WARMING and/or CLIMATE CHANGE.

And to advertise it as doing that, is the classic definition of a FRAUD.

These govts should be (will be?) sued eventually for doing what they are doing.

Katie's latest claim. Climate change causes mental illness. Looks like she is starting to look for excuses.

Happened to open my gas bill today, I bet Horse is wrong on the carbon tax amount of his bill anyhow. My total bill is $107 of that $18.75 is carbon levy. That is $1.011/gj but is increasing to $1.52/gj in January. That will be approx 25% of my bill to carbon levy. Also says most Albertans receive a rebate. I for one can say I have not seen a carbon rebate!

My gas bill for November, I used just over 38 gigajoules so my carbon tax was $38.04, next year that will be $57.06. That is to heat 2 shops and 1 house. In asking does a carbon tax work. In my one shop is my one wells pressure tank. I keep the thermostat at bottom or 10 Celsius. I should put a new digital thermostat which I could set lower. Also my old 706 and feed wagon are kept in this shop. Other shop is the main shop, loader tractor and shredder tractor kept in here. All LED lighting R28 walls, R50 ceiling. Now the carbon tax is supposed to inspire to cut back. Imo the amount of heating I do now is necessary and therefore the carbon tax is nothing but a tax grab!!!!

BINGO HAM

We heat two homes on the Farm plus one Shop and a garage. If we had a Carbon Tax in Sask what would i do different.

Nothing the Homes have energy efficient windows doors and chop is heated that in mid summer its cold inside in july. We keep shop and garage at min because wear overhauls when working on stuff. Homes are kept comfortable level and have new thermostats that are digitally programmed.

So WTF would we be paying a carbon tax to change our way of doing things.

NOTHING.

Its Insane how some are so stupid about this.

Oh,oh. Am I contributing to global warming though?

You could quit commuting from your house in the city to your part-time farm job in a 1 ton diesel truck in summer for a start.
