    The problem with that is that it makes our own businesses less competitive and drives more production abroad to developing countries where factories are less fuel efficient and even more dependent on coal and other fossil fuels. Look at China. They are understandably more concerned with improving their standard of living. Add in cost of transport and it's possible that green taxes might increase global emissions not reduce them.
    Well even the Chinese are finally getting concerned about industrial pollution so I think they'll become interested sooner rather than later; especially given they're keen to stop anything that will lead to mass social unrest.
