Think about it, in one breath you're saying most comes from business, and then talk about rationing...
Rationing is politically unsustainable. It won't touch jet travel, cruises,or shipping, and cheating increases constantly. What you have, all you have, is an excuse to avoid the obvious.
The beauty of a Carbon Tax, is that it lets the market solve the problem. The Economist, in every annual Energy Issue, politely suggests we get a Carbon Tax.
You need to push carbon fuels out of the marketplace, not play dumb games.

I proposed 'rationing'.
I would not be opposed in the US for the rich to get double the ration of everthing.
The upper middle class get 1.5 of what everyone else gets.
And 80% getting all the same.
These numbers would IMO still work to reduce equivelent CO2 emmissions enough, fast enough.
Will it happen? IMO, there is a 99% probability of no, and 1% of yes.
