Mindmeld, > The reason is that Americans don't like to be taxed, even when it is for their benefit.

What tax isn't "for their benefit"?

And if we're going to tax carbon, we might as well kiss any hope of economy recovery goodbye ...

A carbon tax is a solution that's further to the left than Cap and Trade.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. A tax involves less control over the activity than forcing emitters in to a cap and trade system. Yes Cap and trade is an attempt to use market forces, but only within the government constructed system, and a pigovian tax is also an attempt to use market forces.

Command and control orders for reductions would be to the left of either.
