I think the argument being made here, is that just having a price by itself it's a gross oversimplification about what is needed.

And just because a price has been useful in places where you have seen a transition away from fossil fuel use, it doesn't mean you should start with a price.

The price is the thing that comes in once you have a clear alternative to the fossil-powered default, to make it less attractive.

So a key thing about the global covered market discussion at cop, is that there is no single Price. So just like our countries compete to have low tax resumes you have the same thing for carbon here. Oh dear.

Das Parlament und die Staaten der europäischen Union haben beschlossen, eine CO2-Abgabe an den Grenzen zu erheben. Sie wird nicht ganz korrekt oft als CO2 Steuer bezeichnet und verteuert Importe von CO2 intensiven Gütern.
