No Green Tory Taxes

This is an unadulterated Good Thing. "Green" taxes are a bad idea, and don't even serve any real purpose except as a means for government to take more of our hard-earned money away from us. Being "green" isn't about paying extra taxes on "polluting" things, since taxes are already paid on them. And taxing them more will only hurt those lower down on the economic scale anyway.

Carrots work better than sticks in these situations. Any party who is serious about reducing Britain's carbon emissions, for whatever reason, must accept that taxing "bad" things like this isn't the way forward, and I am very glad that the Conservative Party has realised this, even if belatedly.
