Not only the industry or workers, but CO2 taxes, when implemented as petrol or electricity taxes, end up increasing the cost to users who don't control their own usage: petrol is required to commute to work, electricity is required for home necessity, etc.

And the other side of the imbalance: the only way to mitigate these taxes is a large depreciating capital investment in an electric car or home battery. Those who can't afford the investment suffer the worst of the tax.
