Higher prices is the only policy required to create more efficient resource use. When you call for "doing something policy wise" I assume you are suggesting the creation of new government programs. But this is unnecessary, as your vision of economic growth being dependent upon profligate waste is an economic model which was discredited many decades ago. .

Moominoid Re: "PhD" I have heard people who are otherwise intelligent and educated make the argument that the reason for the high level of CO2 emissions is that "greedy" utility companies will not spend the money to put the necessary "filters" on the stacks to remove the CO2. When you try to explain that it would require as much energy (and more) as the utility was producing in the first place to turn all that CO2 into carbonate rock they just will not believe it. And these are people who may have had some college chemistry. Slagle
