"I am not suggesting to go hog wild."

I am. WW3..against carbon. We win, energy becomes cheap again. We loose, coastal property gets cheap. Time is no longer a luxury we can afford. It's not just spending money to make more; it's spending money to use less. We need to replace 50 YO fridges in rental units with Enery Star. We need retrofitting.
We also have failing bridges, potholes on interstates, leaking sewage plants, crumbling levees, an ancient grid, subways needing watertight doors..
.

If we go hog wild, then for me it means we have to pull of out Korea and severely cut back our military commitments to the rest of the world. I don't see that will happening any time soon; that's why I think spending needs to be judicious.

As for climate change, I think that's a done deal and that the world, including the US, doesn't have the will to do something constructive about it. It may be the ending for the human race.
