(28,677 posts)I've tried on more than one occasion to get you to make a statement of support, and can't remember you ever agreeing.
I would love to see a carbon tax and I've never expressed any other view.
You opposed the UKs move to set a floor price on carbon because it was (in your mind) a subsidy to nuclear power.
You haven't given us any reason to believe that you didn't shift from support when you realized that a real carbon tax would automatically result in a rapid expansion of nuclear power (along with renewables of course)... just like you shifted from supporting keeping existing nuclear plants open once Germany/Japan decided to shutter theirs early.
In short - if you're here saying that you support a carbon tax unreservedly... I'm happy to take that correction and accept it as true. What I won't do is pretend that any misunderstanding is from misrepresentation on my part vs. lack of clarity on yours.
