Pigovian taxes, aka Pigouvian taxes levied on any market activity that generates negative externalities, which are costs incurred by third parties that are not included in the market price. The purpose of these taxes is to internalize the external costs associated with such activities, making the price of the good equal to the social marginal cost and creating a more socially efficient allocation of resources.
The name "Pigovian" comes from the British economist Arthur C. Pigou, who developed the concept of externalities in the 1920s. The idea behind Pigovian taxes is that by imposing a tax equal to the cost of the negative externality, the market will reach a more socially efficient equilibrium. This is because the tax will discourage the activity that creates the externality, reducing its negative impact on society.
Examples of Pigovian taxes include taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and carbon emissions. These taxes are meant to discourage activities that impose costs on society, such as health care costs related to smoking or environmental damage caused by carbon emissions. By internalizing these costs through taxation, Pigovian taxes aim to correct market inefficiencies and promote a more socially optimal outcome.
A CO2 tax, properly applied, would change the tragedy of the commons that is the steadily rising CO2 ppm level. If we’re going to tax anything, then we should prioritize taxing the potentially bad over the potentially good, as we do with alcohol & cigarettes over vegetables & fruits
I disagree with those who view the climate risk as catastrophic in the 5 to 10 year range, but the long term risk is very real, even if one simply considers quality of life at a given CO2 level.
The indoor CO2 ppm level is significantly above the outdoor average. This means ~800ppm for ~400ppm ambient. Above 1000ppm, people are noticeably negatively affected. Above 2000ppm, it gets really painful.
Headed to the shareholder meeting and Italian @MaxPinelli has been stuck in limbo for more than a month with investor relations login.

@TeslaBoomerMama @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @farzyness
Big thanks to retiring @MartinViecha and new head of Investor Relations @travisraxelrod for helping @MaxPinelli attend his first shareholder meeting and a special thanks to @TeslaBoomerMama for bringing this (among many other matters) to their attention. The @tesla investor community is amazing.
I’ve voted for @elonmusk and @Tesla to continue innovating and to reward extremely difficult work.
Continue making the impossible merely late.
