Just try to get an ‘overall energy tax weighted by pollution index’ past the Republican knuckleheads in Congress. Perfect is un-doable.

If we fix our greenhouse emission problems it will mostly/most likely be done by finding ways for people make/save money by switching away from fossil fuels.

If you think we aren’t getting anywhere then you aren’t paying attention.

(I will not argue with you that we should be moving faster. But I will point out that change generally starts slow and accelerates. In all aspects of renewable energy we see acceleration occurring.)

It should be clear by now that that approach is taking us nowhere. The better solution would be an overall energy tax weighed by pollution index, following a broad world-wide fair reorganization of energy subsidies. That, together with consumers demanding greener products will drive the so needed actions to revert climate change.
