Re: Poll: Carbon consumption tax replaces income tax?

There are ads in California, maybe elsewhere?, that say every household changing 1 bulb from incandescent to compact fluorescents is equivalent to removing 700,000 cars from the road. sounds like cars are pretty minimal.

Hard to believe but heh. If that is indeed the case then the credits required to offset my carbon footprint is probably mucho greater then $276,000. If this replacement offsets the footprint of 700,000 cars then indeed the amount of carbon emitted from my vehicles is negligible. And if it costs $2400 in credits to offset the footprint of my car.
