Human beings being what they are you are better off looking for ways to make clean energy more afforable.

I’ve often heard this from people who bemoan the fact that dealing with climate change is a “political football”, but what does it actually mean?

If you’re saying we should encourage clean energy research, then that’s fine but it will cost money, which has to come from somewhere.

It does seem that the most logical way to encourage clean energy is to tax dirty energy and direct the revenue towards clean energy research, but maybe there’s a more “free market” solution that I’m unaware of?
