Great point. This would be great for a net importer country like the US. Germany (net exporter) wants their goods competitive abroad. On the other hand, if the US and other high-consumption countries collaborated on this it would probably be effective. Like I said, I go back and forth on it. Or better put, I think both approaches are valid albeit with big implementation challenges. |

Ironically, Germany has a fuel tax https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/energiestg/__2.html that is 4 times as high as that of California https://www.foxla.com/news/californias-gas-tax-goes-up-july-... , which apparently has the highest fuel tax in the US.
