Introduce Carbon Tax to pay for Covid19 and transform to a green economy.
A Carbon Tax applied to products & services that release carbon dioxide in their production, use, or disposal. Things that might be low in Carbon Tax would be electric cars or local grown fruit & veg. Gas guzzling cars or processed meat products with plastic packaging would cost a little more.
The money generated from Carbon Tax would pay the COVID 19 debt mountain and transform to a green economy, revenue to be split 50/50.
Measures implemented might be to encourage more home working to reduce commuting, which produces Carbon Dioxide, give everyone a free bike to encourage more cycling, give every house with a roof free solar panels and battery storage.
A refurbishments & building programme of energy-efficient homes and infrastructure could be used to kick start the economy.
