Governments should tax oil more aggressively to force energy transitions.

Daily Debate #577: "Governments should tax oil more aggressively to force energy transitions.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Noam Chomsky.

Im against the motion because more tax mean less spending power

Wrong frame. Higher gas taxes don't destroy spending power, they redirect it. People still buy energy, just differently. So why should inefficient oil consumption get subsidized by everyone else's taxes instead?

Oil isn't the issue at all, for example car with oil make more pollution, Wrong. For electric battery to be made you need to do more pollution, tax hurt poor people

You're conflating manufacturing pollution with operational reality. Yes, batteries have upfront costs, but an EV operates cleaner over its lifetime. Poor people suffer most from oil pollution's health costs. Why should they subsidize cheap gas that poisons their neighborhoods?

For a poor people pollution won't matter, he need to be able to buy his needs, more tax means less spending power, its logic,

That's backwards logic. Poor people die from pollution-related illness faster than anyone else. Higher taxes on oil force cheaper clean alternatives. Which actually matters more, your immediate gas bill or your kid's asthma?
