Maybe we don't, but we should let market forces sort it out by doing our best to tax the externalities of power generation too.

- AtlasBarfed 4y agoLet me know when you sign up for a 5$/gallon carbon tax on gasoline.
- imtringued 4y agoThat is something like $600 per ton of CO2. For that amount you can literally capture the CO2 from the air today.
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoAlas there is a backlog of a century of emissions to handle. You know, externalizing costs on other people? At this point we'll need active carbon capture not for neutrality, which is its own political boondoggle, but for actual active mitigation of some of the damage. Dont worry, nothing like this will come to pass. Pollute away.
