We should have begun building carbon extraction and deep burial facilities where they mined for coal.

That would have replaced blue collar jobs with blue collar jobs.

We need a carbon tax and federal funding to build these facilities.

Carbon extraction paired with more nuclear is what we need to invest in.

This is a really good point. Not sure I'm in favor of UBI when there is so much work we could be doing to fix the mess we've made.
