A Carbon Tax or any new tax is not the answer to the problems facing us. It's the wrong thing at the wrong time, with the world facing a depression worse than that which followed the 1929 stock market crash.

Nuclear Power is extremely hazardous and polluting. Just look at Fukushima....And what about the radio active waste??? Europe is looking to move away from Nuclear power due to it's inherent dangers and pollution.

The awful truth is that the technology exists for a greener planet (Hydrogen fuel cars, solar and wind power for every house). However, the governments are addicted to taxation from fuel exercise that the greener options are not encouraged. It can almost be viewed as a conspiracy by the major oil companies and governments.
