The problem, for me anyways, is the uncertainty. I'm primarily concerned about the fact that if it had been a Sales Tax its a percentage of sales, you can calculate that.

When its being implemented in dollars per ton of carbon, I dont really know how to estimate that, what does that mean on my Utility bills?

And then implementing another tax on fuel also concerns me because even small increases on fuel costs have significant downstream impacts.
