To expand your emissions example metaphorically, there seems to be both point-source and non point-source consumption. It seems as though you're interested in taxing point-source consumption. That's great! But non point- source (enforcement agencies for clean air/water, police, fire, military, CDC, NIH, Child Welfare agencies, etc.) without a measurable user-end consumption would consequently have no funding. So do you add non point-source funding to the point source taxes? Or have another sort of tax to fund those?
Incidentally, what's with the Bill Cunningham-esque middle name usage?
