Essentially anything that produces carbon into the atmosphere,
which includes rockets, by the way,
I'm not excluding rockets from those, there has to be a price.
You could start off with a low price, but then depending upon whether that price has any effect on the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere, you can adjust that price up or down.
But in the absence of a price, we sort of pretend that taking trillions of tons of this of fossil fuels from deep and under the earth and putting it into the atmosphere, pretending that that had that that that has no probability of a bad outcome.
And the entire scientific community is saying obviously it has.
It's going to have a bad outcome, obviously. You just you change the chemical constituents of the atmosphere.
So it's really up to people and governments to put to put a price on carbon and then automatically the right thing happens.
