We do not need a tax on all carbon.
We need a tax on fossil carbon.
All fossil carbon as it comes out of our ground or across our borders.
Whether that carbon is fuel, refined metals, plastics, lumber, paper, chemicals or other forms matters to the tax only in the amount of fossil carbon contained in and combusted for the material. The excise people may have to guess high and allow appeals. Fuel used for the appeal is also taxable.

"April 7, 2013, 6:28 pm
Sorry about the silence — I spent
yesterday being human (the High Line in NYC is all it’s cracked up to
be!), and then had a hellishly busy day today. If I had more energy left
I’d plunge into the next stage in the European crisis; the moving
finger of instability has
now reached Portugal, with the government, of course, proposing to cure matters with More Austerity. But it will have to hold until tomorrow."
