Government regulation which results in increased costs. Climate science is interesting and worthy, but it's still too shaky and incomplete to justify trillion dollar decisions. For anyone who would have us Act Now Before It's Too Late, alarmist is the right term. Regards, Bill Herrin
The United States has lowered carbon emissions while the EU and China continue to increase. https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2018-01/documents/2018_complete_ report.pdf <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2018-01/documents/2018_complete_report.pdf&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1530721653111000&usg=AFQjCNHfKqi7C-kMzyLEzNrGddj1OZXebg> https://rhg.com/research/taking-stock-2018/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://rhg.com/research/taking-stock-2018/&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1530721672154000&usg=AFQjCNGPO5kfSowp4G7m3Rvhp_lEwwmTKg> https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/european- renewables-are-up-so-are-carbon-emissions#gs.=_L422U <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/european-renewables-are-up-so-are-carbon-emissions%23gs.%3D_L422U&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1530721693671000&usg=AFQjCNGOmWeC7fM7PSycQ9Vzix8mvnhBMw> I'm not sure exactly what this means, but in general, I think it's fair to say that the US has taken a more market-driven approach that includes working with industry to decrease carbon emissions. During the same time frame the EU, China, and other nations and regions that tend towards more heavy handed top-down regulatory approaches to problems such as this seem to be having trouble making progress and are in fact still headed in the wrong direction. Draw your own conclusions from that. ;)
