It would be interesting to know what the subsidy is in per-kWh terms, for fossil fuel vs. for renewables.

Comment on Post-Copenhagen Part 2: The Goods by klem

The canyon which must be crossed is that the paying countries don’t want to pay and the receiving countries know that the money is not free . Both sides feel that the costs are just too high. Neither side wants to sign this treaty.

The paying countries don’t want to be involved with controlling the spending of the money in the developing countries. In other words they don’t want to control those countries. So they don’t want to sign.

Also the countries receiving the money just want the money, they don’t want to be told how to spend it. The money has alot of string attached to it, and giving up sovereignty is a cost that is just too high. So they don’t want to sign. This treaty is doomed.

Comment on US, Canada closer to Cap-and-Trade Market by Matt West

Matt West — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:33:00 +0000

Cap-and-trade may not have the support it needs at present, but I believe the US climate change bill will pass into law because putting a price on carbon affords flexibility and serves as a powerful funding tool to support the Presidents over-arching strategy. However, I am not optimistic about a cap-and-trade deal from a Harper government. I welcome your thoughts.
