Is there absolutely zero interest in being part of the effort to reduce net CO2 emissions? Why no tax n net CO2 emissions to finance alternative technologies?
Interesting article. I am glad that Indonesia is getting a little attention. It is the third or fourth most important nation in Asia, and it get relatively little attention.
For the foreseeable future, I think coal will dominate Indonesian electricity generation.
Where is nuclear?

Developing nations like Indonesia should be focused on economic development. Raising taxes on a key input to economic growth would be very misguided.
And there are many other reasons to oppose a carbon tax:
