Choices – Pick one: Jobs or Deaths

There’s a commercial where citizens are complaining about taxes on energy and how that will “kill jobs.”

That may be true or just rhetoric. But if these taxes cause the long term reduction in pollution of our air, land and water, and, as a side effect, saves the lives of fellow humans and other animals, then why shouldn’t the energy industry be taxed to promote converting to nonpolluting forms of energy generation?

Which is better: many citizens and others around the world dying from pollution, or unemployed living people that can be retrained for new jobs in new energy industries?
