Everyone in the world should be taxed on their energy footprint

Taxes are too destructive because those who get the money usually handle it more foolishly than those who actually have to pay.

Better would be for energy utilities to be co-operatives which directly subsidize lower-consuming (or net producing) members at the expense of wasteful users.
