Hey @Davidpakman - This has been a very contentious issue here in Europe the last weeks. We have seen thousands take to the streets in France because of a proposed Tax hike on Fossil Fuels - a policy aimed to discourage driving and punish directly those contributing carbon emissions. France's mistake has been to shift the burden of climate change on the poor and underprivileged, meanwhile Macron has paraded around with business leaders across industries while they make verbal commitments to become Carbon Neutral by 2030. The only hard law is being delegated from the State and balanced on the back of the working class.

The only policies that will truly work are ones where the industries and fuel taxes are used to subsidize renewable and sustainable industries. If you are going to make it more expensive for workers to get to work, you need to offset costs in other aspects of their lives and ultimately encourage them to change their practices to promote ecological beneficial actions. For example, Germany was offering tax incentives to individuals willing to outfit their homes with Solar Panels. As a result, thousands of households now use renewable energy sources in the Spring-Summer months, and many are driving locally with electric cars. All possible through tax and investment incentives levied from carbon producing industries. State level investment and penalties are the only way to prevent the capitalist's flawed worship of scarcity from driving forward with draining every last drop of fossil fuel from the earth before turning toward a new fuel source.
