Over the last two weeks, I’ve been talking about the need to get conservative voices into the debate over energy and the environment (see part 1 here, and part 2 here). My views on these issues have generated quite a debate among our readers, and I’ve taken some heat over them, particularly when it [...]

My favorite green blog, the Wall Street Journal’s Environmental Capital today notes an interesting development. Financial giant Merrill Lynch has invested $9 million to protect nearly 3,000 square miles of Indonesian forest.
Merrill Lynch is hoping to use this investment to generate carbon credits it can sell on the open market; a shrewd business decision by [...]

During my morning scan of yesterday’s headlines I couldn’t help but shake my head.

The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend on the growth of Europe’s carbon trading market, which saw the value of traded permits double over the last year. This is good news, as it indicates the idea of trading carbon credits is clearly picking up steam. According to the article, “Almost all of the major [...]
