[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 7953277, member: 3563"] Maybe we could have a system when an authorative body representing the best interests of the people like lets say, oh I don’t know, a govt for instance, actually paid farmers for removing atmospheric cyclical carbon from the atmosphere every day. At the same time we could have a system in place like oh I don’t know, say a tax just off the top of my head, that charged people for digging up and burning all new carbon in the process of doing whatever it is they’re doing that is soooo important. So the likes of BA would pay tax on every plane they flew which they’d then have to pass back to the people actually using the planes, lets call them the public? Even more radical, we could make companies like Drax [B]pay[/B] tax instead of subsidising them? The key point being that we don’t leave this important stuff to middlemen who are making a fortune blasting green paint over everything and making no difference whatsoever other than moving large quantities of money into the wrong pockets. Let the market decide my a-rse. [/QUOTE]
