One of the best ways to do a carbon tax is to pay the revenues back as a dividend. States aren't allowed to print money, so you could reasonably have a bunch of blue states right now say that they're going to start paying dividends to people to help them out because they have to stay home, and hey let's fund it with a gas tax -- which people don't mind nearly as much right now because they're staying home anyway.

And then if it happens to still exist two years from now, it's already the status quo.

The battery taxes won't be far off.
