					<description><![CDATA[Carbon dioxide emissions from US power generation have declined by over a quarter since 2005, according to a recent report from the US government.

					<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve heard of the Carbon Tax and Dividend, or the Carbon Fee and Dividend. Here is what you need to know: 1) It is a good strategy for speeding up the critically important energy transition, aka, electrification and decarbonization of our energy supply. 2) It is opposed by most (but not all) Republicans, which tells &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2018/07/20/the-carbon-dividend-is-not-a-tax/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Carbon Dividend Is Not A Tax</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The main reason we are not heading headlong into that project, getting it done right away, is because of the fossil fuel industry combined with a deep seated self-hate on the part of Republicans, who would &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2018/06/29/decarbonizing-the-not-so-low-hanging-fruit/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Decarbonizing the not so low hanging fruit</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

He had a solid argument, and there were several different lines of reasoning leading to that conclusion.

In the US, energy policy and regulation happens much more at the state level than the federal level, and our federal government went belly up last January anyway. Some states will not lead, they will go backwards, but others will lead, and show the way.
