It’s pretty simple: make polluting more costly than not polluting, then publicly traded firms will follow suit.
Someone always pays. What works is making sure the people responsible for the pollution are the ones paying.
Exactly and not some bullshit it’s up to the consumer to make a choice… companies have refined hiding this shi… through subsidiaries, shell companies and greenwashing.
Tax it at the source and let that translate into the consumer price. As the source is the only place that can fix it.
I wonder if the ban on new gasoline vehicles will work. Here in the US, my state and a dozen others plan to ban sale of new gasoline vehicles starting in 2035. However neighboring states aren’t and there is nothing restricting use of older cars or interstate purchases.
EVs will just be naturally better by that time (they are already by a lot of metrics). And if the government starts reducing fossil subsidies the EVs will be a lot cheaper too
I hope you’re right, but I’m one of many frustrated with legacy automakers refusing to adapt, with too many people getting weird about chargers, with this entrenched unwillingness to even consider change
