thinkin about this here. its one thing to mandate an expense on an companies to solve an environmental problem their process is creating. Its a much taller order to basically get rid of those companies, because its product is itself the problem

First, the cost of technology really matters. The cost-benefit ratio of desulfurization technologies was key to solving acid rain. The cost of installing scrubbers was significant but not budget-breaking. If they had come at a huge cost, countries wouldn’t have made the switch.

Similarly, cheap low-carbon technologies are essential for climate change. Low-carbon technologies used to be expensive, but in the last decade the price of solar energy has fallen by more than 90 percent . The price of wind energy by more than 70 percent. Battery costs have tumbled by 98 percent since 1990, bringing the cost of electric cars down with them. Globally, one in every seven new cars sold is electric. In Europe, one in every five, and in China one in every three.

The carbon companies could still diversify into renewables. Heck, half their greenwashing says they are. It's their fault they're too slow and being replaced.
