Trying not to be too skeptical:

I'm not a great admirer of the UK Conservative party, having seen the damage caused to the country by Thatcher's overly long rein.

The artificially green current leader, David Cameron, ranks bearly higher - cycles to work but has a car following him carrying his suit.

However, there was this on the BBC site:

Tory plan for business carbon tax

The Conservatives are planning a carbon tax on British businesses to persuade them to reduce their emissions, shadow chancellor George Osborne has said.

The Tories say the proposal would raise more money than the existing climate change levy (CCL).

Any extra money would be returned to businesses through other tax cuts.

This has the potential of being quite useful or total guff. Having not found any real details about the plan, I'm assuming that :

a) Businesses that pollute pay an extra tax depending upon how much they pollute
b) Businesses that don't pollute get some of this money back as a tax cut

However, the Any extra money line is a little perplexing. Does this mean all businesses get money back or just the cleaner ones? Also, what do they mean by extra? This all seems remarkably vague, yet they claim it will raise more than the existing levy.
