We should also halt all oil subsidies as well. I know cheap energy fuels the economy, but we don’t have that luxury anymore, and all products from regions that don’t ALSO suspend O&G subsidies and levy carbon taxes should have tariffs applied, and those tariffs added to the carbon tax fund.
Is there any proof that the oil and gas subsidies make it cheaper?
Price of a liter of gas in
NYC is $1.07 US
Dallas Texas is $0.64
Seattle is $1.29
LA is $1.18
Toronto is $1.08
Calgary is $1.00
Vancouver is $1.31
Halifax is $1.35
London England is $1.88
Berlin is $2.08
Fun fact, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle should all be the same price. The latter two get product for free from a Canadian government built pipeline, that dates from the 1950s.
