And here comes the common misconception ladies and gentleman.. That is that the burden is placed and borne by the dirty companies. I know its pushed to view corporations as us versus them, but the reality is they are us. They pay taxes, they provide jobs, they invest, they provide money to their stockholders that invest elsewhere... Applying this doesnt just hurt a few 'dirty' companies. It hurts us all.
Sorry, yes I simplied it directly to the companies. But yes correctly interpreted would be that everyone would be involved in one way or another.
