re: #174 Gus

The meat and bones. Solar energy, wind, water, electric cars, tax incentives for new industry, etc. Positive reinforcement rather than negative reinforcement. With C/T I sometimes think that we’ll wind up just accepting higher energy costs and not doing anything about it. Know what I mean?

It’s pretty much human nature to use something until the costs are more than any benefits so the cost of using oil has to go up and the cost of alternative sources have to go down, so tax incentives is a necessity. Solar energy, wind energy, hydro, electric cars are all the result of either carbon tax or C&T not a substitute for them.

We need to use both the carrot and the stick.
