No, it’s not. We all know that we cannot afford to put any more CO2 into the atmosphere. So reasonably, any new CO2 that is emitted would have to be (permanently) removed via carbon capture. That would be the true cost of emitting CO2, but instead, these effects are externalized to global society as a whole, making gas at the pump artificially cheap by cheating everyone else.
They’re artificially expensive. The US is a net EXPORTER of oil.
Is all just a bunch of fucking bullshit, everyone.
