Oh yeah, because batteries and solar panels contain the long term pollution they create in their price right? All of these prices have a lot of factors involved and none of them are actually related to their pollution aspect. In fact pricing things ONLY in carbon emissions as people would like to do nowadays is maliciously deceiving.
Batteries and solar panels are (broadly) affected by the same carbon fees and pollution regulations as other products.
Yes, those fees should be higher, and pollution regulations should be even stricter, but if they were, (which they should be!) it would only further speed the uptake of solar and batteries, because they are less polluting than their rival technologies.

I don't think anyone is suggesting this, though it may actually be better overall than not pricing carbon at all, so it's an interesting thought experiment.
