That's the thing here. From what I can tell the government is saying it will only hit people who can't adjust their lifestyle.
So what about the trucking companies that bring us food from California? Or the rail lines moving containers? Or anyone moving anything for that matter? There is no such thing as a viable long range heavy haul that runs on batteries.
So all those companies are not going to sit back and just eat the tax increases, they are going to pass them on to the consumer. This means more expensive everything, unless it is made/grown/delivered locally without the use of fossil fuels anywhere in its production.
This happened when we deregulated electricity and the increases went straight to the consumer. Get ready for "carbon tax riders" on just about everything.
