The 12 Days of Crazy Carbon Pricing
Dec 24, 2014
1 min read
On the twelfth day of crazy carbon pricing my government gave to me,
12 EITE regulations stalling,
11 MPs a huffing,
10 provinces misaligning,
9 plans forgotten,
8 crazy talking points,
7 ways to keep emitting,
6-ty industrials a-puffing,
5 oil and gas subsidies,
4 flexibility mechanisms missing,
3 offset protocols forgotten,
All compliance payments avoided,
And a timbit for a barrel is too much.
Merry Christmas
While reading this on https://casinolegaly.com, the line about five oil and gas subsidies really stuck with me. It’s maddening how provinces and the feds keep pulling in opposite directions, making the whole carbon price a farce. Sorting out those contradictions seems way harder than any technical fix.
