Do these people even know the carbon footprint of manufacturing a solar panel or a wind mill for their "green" energy?
I do agree that products should be manufactured locally, but that has nothing to do with the environment.
Yes, and it can't be ignored. A carbon tax is universal
I don't get your whining on the middle class. Everyone can strive for a climate friendly life style. This generates a demand on a big scale, thus also solutions.
A dividend would help people having not much money and still need to use carbon intensive products (until there are alternatives), because they have a small footprint anyways
So build it, then. You have lots of money available to construct it from your carbon tax, and even more money when you stop subsidizing the ridiculously expensive car-oriented infrastructure.

Total emissions from these technologies are significantly lower than fossil-powered energy generation.
Stop spreading disinformation, it's extremely frustrating. It's very obvious that you're doing it on purpose.
You don't know what you're talking about. And just because you're ignorant doesn't make me argue in bad faith.
