I don’t think anybody actually believes it works, but they’ll tell you it does when they give tax breaks to the wealthy “job creators”.

The demand for public transport won’t grow if it’s cheaper to take two tonnes of your own metal to work every day.
You don’t need to introduce the tax all in one go, ramp it up over several years. Although as always the best time to start doing this was 20 years ago. I guess the second best time is still now though.
Could you imagine a 40% tax on gasoline to pay for carbon capture?
Yes. Yes I can. Most of the world already pays more than that in tax on petrol anyway.
The UK currently pays 53p/litre in duty, and an extra 20% in VAT, meaning a 145p litre of petrol is currently charged 53% in tax.
Ramp the price up, watch use fall. People will use less. People will buy smaller cars, and travel less, and use public transport. Coddling motorists will fix precisely fuck all.
The time for nuclear was decades ago.
Now it’s being pushed by fossil fuel shills, who’d love nothing more than a gratuitously expensive 20 year boondoggle to let them have free reign over power generation for all that time, and to simultaneously nix any green plans with “but the nuclear is on its way!”
I’m going to assume there were other plot layouts for various sizes, and they kept the categories the same for each diagram.
I do this.
Well, I say I do this, I’m really just a lazy bastard who could never be bothered to mow.
But it’s fashionable now, so I’m sticking to it. Looks much nicer than some nobby old grass, and certainly better than that plastic shit people are putting everywhere like a giant sign that says “I hate nature”…
I just wish I had more than a few square meters of land.
