A interesting thought via SCMP "If there were a climate policy equivalent of an oven-ready casserole for world leaders to take to this week’s climate talks in Glasgow, it has to be their carbon-pricing strategies.While a handful of experts continue to caution against an over-reliance on market mechanisms to slow climate change, that has not stopped governments from hailing carbon pricing as the single most important way of reducing emissions.Whether through a carbon tax, where a fixed price is paid per tonne of greenhouse gas, or a cap-and-trade programme – which puts a cap on sectors’ and firms’ emissions – the mantra is the same: putting a price on carbon will provide the vital nudge towards lower-carbon alternatives.A United Nations handbook on carbon taxation released this week said of 64 “carbon pricing instruments” being implemented globally, 33 were carbon taxes applied primarily at the national level."

Is a carbon tax effective crossed my mind instantly. Assuming a carbon tax in the US over the last few ... Pres- Clinton Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden would have used taxes raised in very different ways! We are all about to roll in to scope 1, 2 and 3 tax issues in international trade yet the out come for those taxes is varied. Great, Ok, Reasonable, terrible or worse is a likely outcome?

I like and invest in Nuclear and Hydrogen via Hazer which to me offers a choice out side the tax tax tax side of the climate issues. Tax or option thread may or may not be appreciated.

Have a great week end all.
