Does it really matter if the money is wasted, so long as it’s not wasted on something that generates more air pollution? The main purpose of a carbon tax is to stop polluters from externalising the cost of their pollution, so that they pollute less because it’s more cost effective not to. The extra revenue is just a bonus.
