I understand fully that increased taxes mean increased prices. But the other side of the coin is that the consumer does have increased disposable income. There are also a large number of businesses and companies that are not going to be taxed more heavily; these just happen to be the companies that are more environmentally friendly and more attractive as both investments and purchases as a result.

Could you please list, oh I don't know, 5 companies that do not require any energy to exist. Just 5 will do to prove your point that there are some companies that will not be taxed more heavily.
Let me see if I can think of some.... hmmm.... maybe an eco-tourism company? Nope, they still have fuel to burn, lights to light, advertising to purchase, etc. Maybe the hutterites... nope, they use fuel and electricity too. Ah... the Amish! What is it that they produce that can be sold to the general public?
What are these magic companies that don't need any energy to produce whatever it is they produce, or don't require any services from companies that do require energy?
Maybe a 14th century blacksmith? But... he does burn stuff that produces carbon so....
