So wait, it is your argument that with a carbon tax, solar panels become economically viable? I'm not sure I buy that. Under this scenario, solar would have to be competitive with other forms of energy generation such as nuclear, and that isn't going to happen. Ever. Even the Obama administration is behind nuclear plant expansion.
I forgot to mention the radioactive cesium tax. There, fixed that. Seriously though, the government will never be able to out-optimize individual choice in choosing technologies. Besides, the system needs to be tech-neutral or else we get a new generation of special interests.
