And as much as its not true, putting in a carbon tax designed as it is by the NDP government has little to nothing to do with emissions reduction, and everything to do with grabbing revenue that the NDP can sock in general revenue and piss away.

And being as this is the AB politics thread thread, the pertinent part of any emissions discussion, as it relates to thread title, is bolded above.
Had they followed Quebec's lead, where all revenues collected from carbon tax are earmarked for energy efficiency initiatives, that would have been good. Investing the tax to develop alternatives to current usage/practice/technology even better.
