First of all, I was wearing shorts until an hour ago. It's about 32 degrees outside, and the air quality is miserable, so maybe that will make you feel better about your situation.
You talked about carbon taxes. I'm not an economist; I can tell you, though, from my experience, that the most destructive thing in moving towards some sort of future is tremendous fluctuation in the prices. We've experienced that in the last couple of years, but you can already see that the carbon tax that's being proposed is going to be small compared to some of these fluctuations we've had. To some extent, until the very end, a lot of our economy was accommodating those higher prices without that much difficulty.
My hunch is that if there was a certainty about the carbon price so that people could plan on it, watch it, and know that it was going to be rolled in and increased incrementally over time, they could build the carbon price into their decisions and investments. You would probably find that they would hardly notice the difference. That's pure speculation, but at the same time, I've seen countries live with high energy prices and low energy prices. The Danes lived with very high energy prices and lived very well, thank you. I don't see it as a big problem as long as it is introduced with certainty.
