Carbon tax excessive

Dear Editor: I believe that the carbon tax is a fair way to address the B.C. government's Climate Action Plan. However, my latest natural gas bill shows the "cost of gas" as $2.977 per gigajoule. The "carbon tax" is shown as $1.

Dear Editor:

I believe that the carbon tax is a fair way to address the B.C. government's Climate Action Plan. However, my latest natural gas bill shows the "cost of gas" as $2.977 per gigajoule. The "carbon tax" is shown as $1.4898 per gigajoule - almost exactly 50 per cent of the "cost of gas." To me, this seems somewhat unfair and excessive - especially for a somewhat "clean" fuel.
