    > So 1 million per cubic meter of C02 = a regulation? You mean, because it would be of great burden to business with a high tax? I guess what I'm saying is that a tax becomes a reg…

    Trick: add up digits, if they are divisible by 3 so is the number. In this case 117 yields 1+1+7 = 9, and sure enough so is 117. (117 / 3 == 39). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divi…
