Clean - Safe - Sustainable: Policy based on realistic assessment of available resources and common sense usage of those resources regarding system capacity and regulation considerate of these ends. Any lack of consideration in this area directly impacts our economy and security. Rapidly addressing needed policy directives will yield more affordable solutions and a healthier future. It is now a well established fact that global warming is occurring and the change in climate forcing is human caused.
The “Carbon Fee & 100% Dividend” presented by Dr. James Hansen has the best potential to initiate cause and effect that will lower Co2 emissions. Fee and dividend is the policy complement that must accompany recognition of fossil carbon reservoir sizes for strategic solution of global warming (the physics: reservoir sizes imply the need to phase-out coal emissions promptly and quash unconventional fossil fuels).
