It is one way in which [[comprehensive outcome]]s can be reflected in a [[price premium]]. [[Consumerium Services]] of course are another way this can happen. Combining the two would make [[price]] and [[Consumerium buying signal]] converge: the less desirable the product, the higher the taxes, thus the price. In a green tax shifted system the [[price premium]] could be much lower and still motivate buying the more ecologically desirable product, since taxes would fill in the gap and try (by deliberate policy) to reduce the pricing gap, making the ecologically desirable product more affordable to more consumers. | It is one way in which [[comprehensive outcome]]s can be reflected in a [[price premium]].
