climate change carbon tax math 

Did the math on a $75/ton carbon tax, because a group of Senators actually proposed a (much lower) one for once.

For my car it ended up being about a cent per mile. For a the US average light vehicle (cars through SUVs) about 3.5 cents a mile. Or $470 a year for the average driver. Very backbreaking, totally worth the huge conservative freakouts over this shit. /s

( and most of that would come back, because carbon taxes are designed to rebate. Also do the math in the other direction and it ends up being quite a lot more, but the "more" is in the future so GO TEAM RECENCY BIAS")
