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...

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 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...

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...

What is the economic impact of global warming?
What Is the Economic Impact of Global Warming? The first thing to disappear is not the glacier. It is the predictability. People imagine climate change as a cinematic event: oceans climbing seawalls, forests combusting in orange weather, polar bears adrift on fractured ice. Those things are real. Yet economies do not collapse in one dramatic gesture. They fray. Quietly at first. A delayed...

Why are fossil fuels still used?
Why Are Fossil Fuels Still Used? The refinery at dusk resembles a cathedral designed by insomnia. Towers lit from within. Pipes curving like brass instruments. Flame stacks coughing fire into a violet sky. Years ago, driving through the industrial corridor outside Houston, I pulled over near a chain-link fence and watched the machinery breathe. Not metaphorically—breathe. A synchronized...
