Carbon a Go-Go
A British opposition politician asks
We are currently looking to create a fairer system of taxation that the current Climate Change Levy which charges business per Kwh. Could you come up with a better system. We are currently looking at a system where we charge depending on the system of generation. Any advice is good!

Hmm, tricky one this. This type of issue cannot be rushed and probably needs careful consideration. My first bit of advice would therefore be sit down, talk to climate change scientists and economists and think it all the way through carefully before making a rash policy decision. Oh, too late ? Oh well.
