"I'm curious, do you think the whole idea of a market-based solution is bad, or do you just think that actual real-world implementations have been lacking so far?'

My theory is that the people push for market based solutions the most are usually the same people that are against regulations and taxes so whatever they come up with will usually be very weak. They certainly won't support taxation of carbon emissions to the degree that's necessary for real behavior.

I'm one of those people that push for market based solutions. I also support taxation to the degree that it is effective. So your theory is not supported by evidence.

I also support the idea of reducing other taxes in concert, so the tax is revenue neutral.
