re: Imposing taxes and creating subsides for specific actions doesn't have a net zero cost to the economy

You are right of course, in this case it has a net (very) Positive effect on the economy. As I went on to say:

Immediately we have a significant lowering of the $200 Billion. Two factors: 1) lower consumption; 2) lower prices in the commodity markets.

Now we can use the annual savings of a percentage of the $200 Billion as seed money for more efficient use of energy... the cascade effect. The more we invest, the more we save.
