    No it’s really really easily to implement taxation that’s not regressive.

      A progressive tax that means the biggest users pay the most would probably be ideal (but then that’s mostly true in every situation)

      How comes I never saw that implemented, then? Progressive taxation stops “progressing” at around the 100k threshold and that’s basically just a decent salary. The Rich are never really affected by it.

      Carbon credits would be a way to level the ground in some situations and could give you a right to say NO to people consuming more than their share, or at least account for externalities and get paid if you allow them to use your “quota”.
