Which doesn't nothing to ultimately fix the problem.
Cars still run off gasoline and power plants still burn coal, just a tiny bit less after the government anti carbon beat down.
If they really wanted to fix global warming then nuclear power plants would be used to replace the coal and natural gas base load and the only natural gas plants in use would be emergency peaker plants and to burn off natural gas that may otherwise be flared.
Then only a hand full of coal plants are left that produce fly ash for making high strength, low efflorescent concrete.

I ran across an article about the Climate Leadership Council's proposal,from February,2017, for a revenue-neutral carbon tax,beginning at $40/ton,which would be applied at the 'source',for any product originating from that source.
For instance,with gasoline,it would be the equivalent of an extra 39.2-cents/per gallon.
Then the average family of four would receive about $2,000/year.
