Carbon tax would shift the economics in favor of renewables.

Carbon tax is the only way, you need to pay for picking up the garbage from the road or the air, the cost to clean op pollution and trash needs to be accounted for.

I don’t think it would - tokens are so profitable and the race dynamics make the deployment timelines for most renewables untenable.

Throughput for solar projects is very high and increasing, latency is unfortunately also very high.

A carbon tax would have been a fantastic solution in the 1990s

It is too late now. There are no pare to optimal solutions left
