FT call for carbon tax

Look at the last para; yes the FTreally is recommending a carbon tax. Surely the deed cannot be far behind? Let's hope not. Of course those planning fuel protests won't like it but I'm afraid they will really have to get used to rising fuel prices. What we need is a way to switch costs to road usage rather than vehicle ownership. At present, the costs of owning a car mean that to get value out if it it needs to be used. We need to alter things so that more usage more expense. A carbon tax would do that and hopefully release money to be used to defray the costs of environment and health care as well as to ease transitions to more people and envirnomentally friendly ways of moving people around.
