    Canada has implemented a carbon tax. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I haven’t heard of it being particularly difficult to implement. As I understand it, the tax is implemented at the source, and then made revenue neutral by redistributing the revenue equally to all taxpayers.

    If you burn more carbon, you pay more. If you are efficient, you get more money back than you paid in taxes.
