Environmental costs of oil and coal

jeudi 14 janvier 2016 à 01:00

Obama proposes to make oil and coal extractors pay for their environmental costs.

This would drive the price way up and encourage conservation. However, it needs to apply to imported coal and oil, not solely to the coal and oil extracted in the US.

The IMF endorsed a carbon tax on ships and planes.

It should cover everything, but that would be a good start.
