Why Are Carbon Tax Proponents Ignoring This Story

[Cannuck]

Why conservatives have it wrong about Trudeau’s carbon tax - The Globe and Mail

The entire article is irrelevant to this thread since this new technology will end the global warming problem. I can understand why you want to act like a climate change denier. Ideologues often find change difficult

Your spelling is indicative of a failed education system ...

Hehehe...I know home schooled kids that understand the difference between your and you're

For the one billionth time (which you choose to ignore), you need the resources to adequately produce any technology.

Hence carbon pricing to fund such projects or to give businesses the incentives to begin production.

For the one billionth time (Which you choose to ignore) you don't need to use tax dollars. I understand that you believe that you do but as has been said, you're an ideologue.

That's not neutral.

 

[Cannuck]

In Flossy's world, as long as the budget is balanced, taxed are revenue neutral.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble Cannuck but


The big piece that is missing is the amount of energy it took to drive that process, and the bad news there from thermodynamics is that it necessarily requires more energy to be consumed than is contained in the ethanol that is produced. In other words, if you produced a gallon of ethanol by this process, it is 100% certain that the amount of energy consumed is greater than the ~76,000 British thermal units (BTUs) in a gallon of ethanol.

That's not neutral.

Revenue neutral just means that all the money received in taxes is spent.

Revenue neutral just means that all the money received in taxes is spent.

It means that the amount of money received by the government after the new tax is the same as before.

That sounds like just a semantically different way of saying what I just said.

 

[lone wolf]

No it doesn't - except for someone in desperate search for propaganda. Your statement says "spent" - as in a transaction whereas Ski's is just as likely to mean "gone for pocket liner or as fill in a bottomless pit".

 

[mentalfloss]

Please stop politicising this.

It means the money coming in is the money going out.


That's all it's means.

 

[lone wolf]

Now you're backtracking and changing the story. If you're going to wax propagandic, at least stick to the same tune ... unless you're wearing a stupid blonde comb-over

Revenue neutral just means that all the money received in taxes is spent.

Nooooo. Uh uh.

 

[Cannuck]

Now you're backtracking and changing the story.

It's what he does

I'm sorry to burst your bubble Cannuck but

Don't worry about it. My bubble isn't burst.

I think I've finally figured out your problem. You quote a financial paper on a scientific process. You probably get your financial info from Dr Seuss books.

 

[petros]

Financial info? That's rich.

 

[Cannuck]

How's the letter Flossy? Times getting short. Don't you care about people?

 

[petros]

Spend a dime and get a real one planted.

Your epitaph...

Here I sit broken hearted, paid a dime and only farted...

 

[Cannuck]

The letter Flossy! Two more days!

 

[taxslave]

That sounds like just a semantically different way of saying what I just said.

No, it means that any money received in carbon taxes os offset by cuts in other taxes.

 

[Cannuck]

There seems to be some misunderstanding on the part of some of the forum progressives. Granted, science is clearly not their forte. From popular mechanics...

Scientists Accidentally Discover Efficient Process to Turn CO2 Into Ethanol

"Perhaps most importantly, it works at room temperature, which means that it can be started and stopped easily and with little energy cost."

Now, I understand that some writer at Forbes seems to think he knows better than the folks at popular mechanics. I will leave that to them.

No it doesn't.


Revenue Neutral has nothing to do with expenses or spend. Just revenue before and after.


What you are talking about is balancing the budget. Something that is obviously not going to happen with this government.
