Can economic growth be sustainable?
Can Economic Growth Be Sustainable? A century ago, a forest in the Pacific Northwest could absorb the errors of an economy. Rivers carried away dyes and solvents. Soil swallowed metals. Air diluted smoke. Human ambition was buffered by abundance. The Earth functioned as a forgiving parent, not because it was infinite, but because industrial civilization was still comparatively small. Today the...

Do carbon taxes reduce emissions?
Do Carbon Taxes Reduce Emissions? The argument usually arrives disguised as arithmetic. A legislator holds up a chart, a pundit cites a gasoline price, an economist sketches a tidy curve on television. Carbon taxes, we are told, work because people respond to prices. Raise the cost of pollution and pollution declines. Elegant. Mechanical. Almost Newtonian. But carbon is not emitted by...

How do governments reduce pollution?
How Do Governments Reduce Pollution? A river does not argue. It carries the memory of a civilization in silence. Stand beside the lower stretch of the Cuyahoga River in the late 1960s and you would have smelled varnish, gasoline, sulfur, rot. The water itself could ignite. It did ignite. Flames climbed from the river’s surface like a deranged industrial miracle, and the photographs...

How do we grow economically without destroying the environment?
How Do We Grow Economically Without Destroying the Environment? The False Choice That Keeps Showing Up Every few years, somebody stands up and tells us we have to choose. We can have economic growth, they say, or we can have a healthy environment. Pick one. I've never bought that argument. Not because environmental challenges aren't real. They are. Anyone looking honestly at rising...

How does carbon pricing work?
How Does Carbon Pricing Work? There is a habit in economics, especially in rooms with polished tables and filtered air, to speak about carbon as though it were an abstraction. A metric. A unit. A derivative of energy consumption. Yet carbon dioxide is physical. It leaves a tailpipe warm. It rises from a smokestack with the invisible confidence of empire. It lingers in oceans that absorb heat...

Is environmental protection expensive?
Is Environmental Protection Expensive? The question arrives dressed as economics, but it is almost always a question about imagination. A river catches fire once and people call it tragedy. A river catches fire twice and investors call it uncertainty. A river catches fire three times and economists quietly rename it “externalized cost.” Language has a way of laundering smoke. For...

Is green energy economically viable?
Is Green Energy Economically Viable? The first time I stood beneath a utility-scale wind turbine, I expected noise. Machinery always announces itself. Diesel engines rattle. Coal plants exhale like exhausted dragons. Even the fluorescent lights in old office buildings buzz with the low anxiety of consumption. But the turbine made almost no sound at all. The blades moved with a slow authority,...

What are the economic benefits of renewable energy?
What Are the Economic Benefits of Renewable Energy? There is a peculiar sound a coal plant makes before dawn. I heard it years ago while standing outside a generating station near Delta, Utah, waiting for a maintenance supervisor who was late because a conveyor belt had jammed. The sound was not mechanical, exactly. It was respiratory. A metallic inhalation. The plant breathed in pulverized...

What is a carbon tax?
What Is a Carbon Tax? A refinery in Texas exhales more carbon dioxide before dawn than a forest can absorb in months. A container ship crossing the Pacific burns bunker fuel so dense and sulfurous that, if poured into a stream, it would resemble an industrial crime scene. Yet the invoice for this damage rarely arrives. The atmosphere receives the bill. Future generations inherit the debt....

What is cap-and-trade?
What Is Cap-and-Trade? There is a moment that arrives in certain industrial cities just before dawn when the air becomes visible. Not fog. Not weather. A chemistry of exhaust, sulfur, nitrates, carbon, and microscopic particulates suspended low enough to taste. I remember standing near the ship channel outside Houston years ago while a refinery exhaled steam against a bruised sky. A worker...
