| garland, were there any price tags associated with this paper? Just because they can develop a series of approaches to meet an end, it doesn't mean that the price will be affordable. Exactly how much would a PSV field the size of New Jersey or a wind farm the size of Germany cost? And, that is what is required to provide just one of the wedges.
My problem with this whole thing is that the costs to do this will be so prohibitive that they will sink our economy and that the net result will be no change in CO2 emissions since China, who couldn't care less about the environment, will gladly use its vast coal resources to provide cheap power to take on the all of the world's production that is no longer economically feasible in the US and other industrialized counties. What is your solution to that? Does it not give you pause, knowing that even the IPCC hasn't stated with any certainty that dire consequences will result if we don't reduce CO2 emissions? |
