I guess you still do not understand that the "cap & trade tax" is not a real tax, rather it is an expense that the fuel providers will pass onto consumers. People who use the term "cap & trade tax" are using the word "tax" in a colloquial manner.
And who said I think it is
"ok to pass that penalty on to drivers"? I just said that is what the fuel providers will do. I did not say it was "ok".
