Good. Some people will try to phrase this as a bad thing because yes, you will pay more (eventually, anyway -- article says they don't expect "any real bite until around 2025"). But we should be paying more given the environmental damage that burning this fuel causes. We should not be effectively subsidizing oil companies by paying the cost of their negative externalities.
Why put such a shitty spin on it? We’re developing clean fuel tech – focus on that, mention the increase in costs, and spin it as a way to accelerate the transition to electric mobility.
And that's just what the Parliamentary Budget Office predicted. The article also has another prediction:
"There's a zero per cent chance it would be worse than what the Parliamentary Budget Office is saying," said Wolinetz, who predicts a cost impact of under 10 cents a litre by 2030.
