    i mean, suppose i run a pizza shop. Carbon pricing would make my sauce, cheese, flour, oil, topping prices higher.

    also operating expenses like the pizza oven? these are expensive pieces of gas fired equipment that would have to be replaced.

    carbon pricing is the only thing that can reduce consumption of fuel fuels, it just doesn’t seem so simple to implement

      Sure, but it also means your customers have more money in their pocket. This means you can charge different prices for meat vs vegetarian toppings, and customers will have a choice between eating vegetarian toppings and having more money left over or paying the premium for meat. As the carbon tax rises, you’ll want to add vegan cheese to your options and electrify your ovens.
