Girl taxes aren't a perfect proxy for that, electric vehicles and all, but they are a start.

Separately, there's the whole question of funding externalities – such as a carbon surcharge.
Best if you could get the extraction industry to pay an externalities tax, but not gonna happen. Easier, if more of a political football, to push it to the end users.
For carbon only, one gallon of gas burnt results in 20 pounds of CO/CO2. Carbon offset costs are currently ~$8 a ton, but expected to rise a lot over the next few years.
