Climate: Making Sense and Making Money
Climate change is not the inevitable price of progress but rather “an unnecessary artifact” of the “wasteful use of resources,” according to this white paper by Amory and Hunter Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute. Many other studies have shown how the U.S. can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions while stimulating the economy. This paper offers practical, market-based mechanisms for actually making that happen — without relying on the carbon tax or other “command-and-control” strategies that some economists and politicians fear would harm the economy.
