Some proposed carbon taxes tax fuels being taken out of the ground based on how much CO2 it would produce. Coal produces a lot of CO2 per weight, while natural gas produces less.

Taxing these fuels makes them more expensive, so the free market will prioritize cheaper sources of energy like wind and solar that are not taxed.
