Alberta sets $30-per-tonne carbon tax on large industrial emitters, aligning province

[jazz]

And of course a new tax (or any charge) on the large emitters will never be passed on to the consumer? Just like all tax breaks large industry receive trickle down to consumers and are never used to buy back shares and as distruuibutions to share holders. My god, are you that naïve or simply a troll?

Well tell me exactly how an oil sands facility which exports raw crude to the US passes its costs down to grannies natural gas bill which is set by the spot and near market.

Did you pass your extra grain heating costs on to Canadians?

Lol the breakfast club got together this morning, how cute .

All that carbon tax will do is drive more capital out of this country. Kenny is a liberal. Looks like a few more steps down the economic latter

Its an olive branch to industry too saying they will pay a bit but its also a carrot to look for some tech to help and a local fund is created for that purpose. It already has more sense than Trudeaus carbon tax funds into nothing.

He lowered the corp tax rate so I doubt this will have a big financial impact. Virtue signalling Ab style.

To its shame AB has had a cap and tax scam going on with large emitters for more than a decade now. I have sold carbon credits years ago but have not done it in the past number of years because it is immoral even though with the past four years of crap weather I could use the money. So AB electric power bills have had a carbon tax on them for years. So I assume that this is just an update of the previous program. I have not seen any ads from aggregators like Farmers Edge and the like for a couple years now so had assumed that the scam was replaced by the carbon tax during the ENDP years.

Saskatchewan has had a carbon tax ever since saskpower started the expensive Carbon Capture Scam....dont know why that can't be used in negotiations with the federal government....except for the fact it costs more to maintain than the money they make from putting C02 back in a well...

Instead of an oil sands producer what it the emitter is a fertilizer plant. -or cement plants or electrical generators all industri which Kenney actually mentioned now if their costs rise by x dollars do you actually think those x dollars will not be passed on to farmers whwere costs can be passed down the chain they will be. Farmers cannot pass on their costs if you did not know

Then its passed on to consumers of fertilizer and cement and not consumers of home heat. The exact opposite of Trudeaus plan.

At least there is technology for big single emitters to invest in. Scrubbers, offsets and even CCS. How TF does granny reduce her emissions except get a blanket.

Oh you are Right jazz. A grannie that consumes nothing but heat generated from natural gas will not have to pay more. And yes farmess can afford higher fert bills i guess. And since grannie does not have electricity in your perfect con world but burns the natural gas right out the pipe she will not have higher electrical costs either. Only every one else.
