It’s a fascinating thing these “carbon credits”. I have always had a great difficulty grasping the attraction and acceptance by so many for a TAX by another name. It doesn’t do anything to provide a cleaner environment, it penalizes companies that discharge carbon byproducts in the manufacturing process of goods that we need and demand such as electricity. If we have a greater demand for electricity to run air conditioners in our homes, businesses and hospitals, then elevated carbon byproducts are more than likely going to be the result. The self-appointed carbon police collect a fee for the excess byproduct and the end result is the electric company needs to charge you more money to produce the same amount of product. Your cost of living goes up, the carbon police get rich, and atmospheric conditions remain the same. I’d say that’s one hell of a solution. Perhaps it was dreamt up by the same person who got countless thousands of people to hold hands across America many years ago. I’ll never forget the profound impact that had on my life. I would refer to this as a BLACK TAX, and it should raise a BLACK FLAG. What’s next, “PURIFICATION CREDITS” for contributing too much oxygen to the atmosphere? Perhaps I’ll reserve the rights to those credits. I’m not holding my breath for that income either.
