For a carbon tax, I think you only need to track imports, and domestic extraction of coal, petroleum, and natural gas.

„Only” track imports?
xnx OP
I think customs already tracks this. Smuggling oil and coal into the US at any meaningful scale seems very unlikely.
michpoch
Right, but how do you track carbon in imported goods?
xnx OP
You don't. We already outsource all kinds of things (pollution, human rights violations) now.
