Cap and trade is designed to do that. It also caps the allowable carbon. The fees are used to lower consumers costs of electricity during the investment in new replacement clean power plants, and to help the power sector invest in clean power.

However, why is the solar power tower being ditched! Brayton cycle gas turbines would reduce the land, (possible) water, and definatly, the grading requirements. The molten salt storage is at least TEN times cheaper. Speaking of grading, heliostats are post mounted, thus no enviro whining needed!

Therefore, if we “are to do something”, we need to get the costs of the CSP tower down to where it belongs. Why? Because it is the only source that can power humanity like 50 times over without any enviro problems (other than mining for raw materials, but hey, that would be offset by the lesser amounts of coal mining). It would be easy if governments stepped in to guarantee some kind of feed in tariff, only AFTER a cheap dollar per watt target was achieved. This way, us rate payers wouldn’t be paying much more for clean electricity for cars and household. We need to exponentiate this perfect and unlimited form of electrical generation like wildfire `~’

Wind is cheaper, but it’s storage is ten times more. Sure, we need to make batteries that only cost $50 per kWh too… But we can’t just rely on wind.

What really has to be “done” is abolish silly little enviro and nimby laws… Before GW becomes very real

Please ?’-‘?
