The cost of the pollution is it's effect on the environment and everyone living in it. Just collecting taxes does not address that. The tax would have to actually undue the pollution to eliminate the externality.

Then driving a Prius doesn’t accomplish anything either.

Driving a Prius for fun on the weekends is less damaging than driving a Viper. You might not get as much fun done though.
