My understanding of the idea behind carbon taxes is that all money generated from it is supposed to be invested back into green technology development which will, in turn, provide alternates for people to get off of carbon-based products.

Also, I understand the argument against the tax going into transit from a rural perspective, but:

a) There's no guarantee that the money going into general revenue will benefit those areas either.

b) That 2 cents per litre gas tax is also being paid by rural areas, and is specifically going into transit, so the government doesn't really seem to consider this much of an issue in the first place. Which isn't necessarily a good thing, but it is something to consider in this argument.
