Agreed. Cap and trade is not the future. We should lead the world through free innovation, not through massive government coercion. I simply do not and cannot trust government to organize a change like that.

That’s where you get the GOP to acknowledge the problem of AGW and sustainable energy and to propose free-market solutions. That could also include increased nuclear power as well as developing technologies. Now, the means to that end would be accomplished through the free-market since that’s how it operates in the first place. I think it’s similar to positive reinforcement. You reward companies with tax breaks and the like for being proactive. The opposite is a carbon tax which is essentially a fine or negative enforcement.
