Until carbon producers transit from producing profits from carbon, we won't have alternatives. It's an insane round robin. A not-so-merry-go-round.
There are $Trillions upon $Trillions of gross revenues left for oil/coal/gas companies to suck out of the earth both on and offshore. This is why they will never change their ways until forced to do so.
Oil companies have made record profits, more than many countries' GDP.
Let's tax those profits with a
Carbon Conversion Tax (CCT)
The end users like power companies and consumers can't change their ways until other ways are created.
And other ways can't be created without new sources.
And new sources won't be up and running fast enough without money. The oil/coal/gas producers are making huge profits. As long as the oil/coal/gas companies are raking in their huge profits and keeping them, they won't change.
Therefore, we tax their profits and use this revenue to produce the alternative energies.
It's plain and simple. It's brilliant. It's straightforward. It's easy. It's at least an idea!
