Introducing Article 1 of 4 in the PointVerge series "That Which We Call a Carbon Tax". In this Article (About Carbon and Taxes) we discuss: Language, What the Carbon Tax is Not, The Nature and Uses of Carbon, and Hydrocarbons-Nature's Energy Storage. This series offers a wide perspective on the information behind the debates on Climate Change. We leveraged our experience and skills in Oil and Gas, design, data analysis, process control, project management, and the art of constructive argument to bring this to you. Please follow us in this series as we promote information while raising important questions, all in the spirit of scientific inquiry. #alberta #canada #energy #greenhousegas #tax #oilandgas #climatechange #government #pollution #pricing #environment #carbon #hydrocarbon #economy #fuel
