If you go too far upstream to energy generation, you run into the "socialise the cost" issue— all pay despite some people being more aggressive consumers. Its best to have taxes on luxury and high-impact goods. If that is what #JamesHansen writes about, then we agree.

We in #Australia once had a #luxuryGoodsTax (20%). It was abolished when #GST (10%) was brought in

Does he write for a publication not (#)cheatingHumanity?
