As others have said, a carbon tax can be designed to refund either the entire amount, or a portion of the amount back to consumers, which might also transform it into a non-regressive tax.

But perhaps more importantly, you wouldn't be taxed because others are using electricity for virtual money. You would be taxed because your carbon emissions are causing climate change, and to encourage you to reduce energy usage where possible.
