A carbon tax would hit the poorest the hardest. I’d rather spend money on making more nuclear power plants and shutting down existing coal plants.

The carbon tax (that didn't pass) in washington state had a system to rebate costs for poor people, ie giving them money. it's a hard problem, figuring out how to incentivize safer environmental behavior.
