What is renewable energy economics?
What Is Renewable Energy Economics? There is a moment, usually just before dawn, when a wind farm becomes less an industrial artifact and more a geography. The turbines stop resembling machines. They stand like white reeds in a marine current no one can see. I remember driving through west Texas years ago, passing a cattle ranch whose owner once leased land for oil pumps and now leased it for...

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...

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,...

Should governments tax pollution?
Should Governments Tax Pollution? The river looked anesthetized. Not dead. Worse. Alive in a diminished way, as if life itself had signed a compromise agreement. I remember standing beside the Cuyahoga years after the famous fire, watching the water move under a film of industrial sheen that caught the afternoon sun like a bruise. Nearby, a father cast a fishing line with the stubborn...

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 the economic cost of climate change?
What Is the Economic Cost of Climate Change? A forest does not submit invoices. A coral reef does not send receipts. The atmosphere keeps no accounting department. And yet the bill arrives all the same. It arrives when a city floods twice in five years and insurers quietly leave. It arrives when wheat shrivels under a heat dome in Kansas while barges sit stranded on the Mississippi because...

Why is environmental economics important?
Why Environmental Economics Matters More Than Most Economists Admit The modern economist suffers from a peculiar superstition: he believes prices emerge from nowhere, production occurs in a vacuum, and prosperity can somehow be detached from the physical world that sustains it. He speaks fluently about GDP growth while rivers die quietly behind industrial parks. He models consumption curves...
