This defeats the point of the carbon tax. It's supposed to hit your pocketbook. You are supposed to turn down the heat and put on a sweater rather than emit carbon, or buy a higher efficiency furnace.
You're supposed to consider public transit or carpooling rather than a 40 minute solo commute.
If it doesn't hurt, then it actually doesn't promote any behaviour change.
