Any party that isn't saying: "We will do everything possible to create non-carbon-taxed alternatives so you never pay a tax at all” is just letting the bad guys win.

- Rebates for Hybrids and EVs
- EV Conversion programs for cars and trucks!
- Invest in Transit.
- Fund Gas Appliance alternatives.
- Insulate homes.

I pay carbon tax on Propane for our BBQ and gas for our hybrid (once a month). That's it.

Axe the Fossil Fuels!

@chris Ev conversion of ICE vehicles is a big missed opportunity in US policy, their focus on new EV sales massively stunted EV adoption. As an example, the few EV conversation kits available are as expensive as a new vehicle and with almost zero tax incentive. Meanwhile, the only EVs on the US market are priced even with incentives out of the majority's reach.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt ABSOLUTELY! The tech to convert simple gas vehicles to EVs has been around for decades. The lack of focus on that is a direct result of the car lobby wanting people to only buy new cars. Meanwhile, the majority of people *don’t buy* new. They buy used.

@chris and might be why the industry is pushing leases rather than ownership to maintain control of the market and dictate terms.
