For me, I might welcome some sort of green initiative; if it can be done correctly.

Part of Ontario's high power prices pays for the subsidy that people get for installing solar. Basically a person in Ontario can install solar on their house, taking care of most of their power needs, and not have to pay extra. The subsidy takes care of it.

That is one way a "carbon tax" is actually useful- as the money goes directly from consumer to consumer.
