So you tax them for CO2 and then subsidize them for the same reason?
How does help anyone else than salaries for tax and subsidy administrators?

A "climate income" is a good example of that. Everyone gets taxed by usage/pollution, but the collected tax gets redistributed evenly.
That way, on average there is no extra taxation, in fact it's typically a redistribution from top to bottom. And yet every individual will end up with more money the less they pollute. It's that individual incentive that makes the measure effective, but it's the redistribution that makes it socially acceptable (if implemented correctly)
Is it ideal? maybe not, but it is the real world.
