re: #34 Surabaya Stew

It’s a shame that leading efforts to slow AGW aren’t 1/10th as profitable.

Why not? Because of NIMBY objections to windmills, nuclear power, and so on. Because the negative externalities of burning coal don’t factor into the price. Because the cost of extracting oil is counted as the entire cost. The entire cost of a barrel of oil is the effort it took to get it, PLUS the use you might have had of it later, as a feedstock to fertilizer for instance, if you hadn’t burned it now.
