Dear Mridul,

indeed a very informative article, especially for a research i am doing for the United Nations Environment Programme’s Green Economy Report. The same applies to many of the articles that you have written for this webpage and others that i have been reading. I would like to ask you for the sources of your numbers especially from this article as i need to reference them for the report.

I would most appreciate it, if you can contact me via email, which i have provided.

I look forward to your reply.

My Best

Affan

Taxes are much better than the complicated cap and trade schemes, since people can understand them better and thus it’s easier to garner support for them as opposed to cap and trade.

Indian coals are of poorer quality and hence they sell for lower price, around $38-40 per ton.

Tax to fund renewable projects. Great idea: cap and trade but more direct, so people understand it better. Make coal power plants eligible too, as long as they invest in renewable energy.

Mridul, what does coal sell for per ton in India?

50 IRN per ton of coal is only $1 USD.

I like the idea, but it needs more bite.

For a start it’s good. India is heavily dependent on coal for power generation and since it has a long way to go in ensuring electricity for all, I believe $1 per ton is quite reasonable.
