Norway's Carbon Tax Plan Favors Fossil Fuels Over Biofuels, Environmental Activists Charge

摘要

Norway's decision to levy a carbon tax on liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and liquid natural gas (LNG) used in the transport sector has drawn fire from environmental activists who say the new regime favors vehicles that use fossil fuels over those that run on biofuels.rnA spokesman for the pan-Nordic environmental group Bellona told BNA May 19 that the measure amounts to a "tax break for fossil fuels" and could benefit fossil fuel-powered vehicles by up to €1 for every 10 traveled kilometers when compared to environmentally friendly equivalents.
