A Green New Year
by Whit Ayres
January 8th, 2008

You may have missed it over the busy holiday, so here’s a link to Peter Baker’s excellent Washington Post article on President Bush’s evolution on the climate change issue over the course of his administration. It is a fascinating read, and provides hope that the President might be open to instituting a national cap on carbon emissions before the end of his term.

2008 promises to be an interesting year for those of us interested in environmental policy. With Lieberman-Warner continuing to advance through the Senate and the President showing increasing interest in acting on the issue, this could be the year that a carbon cap becomes a reality.

To limit pollution and reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources we should:

Implement a market-based ‘Cap and Trade’ solution
Increase taxes and government subsidies
Buy tickets to see Leo’s latest flop
Do nothing and hope it will get better
Undecided, but we do need to find a solution
