It's hard to find a rational excuse for not doing it.
Aside from we haven't figured out how to actually pass a carbon tax despite, what, twenty years of trying. I used to be enamoured with the idea, but now I'm growing to believe it's a distraction and a waste of time & effort that just isn't going to happen in any meaningful timeframe.
There are other ways to skin this cat, and the ones we stand a prayer of implementing are the ones we need to focus on.
