The problem with accounting for "cheaper" fossil carbon in the present is the cost in the future which is heavily discounted by current thinking. If for instance burning fossil carbon now means that you will pay four times as much in 20 years for air conditioning, the price starts dropping quickly. Wise reply. And we do need to rethink our tax policy with regard to carbon sources to help this happen. However, we, the country, may be at cross purposes as both our domestic oil and ng production are on upward curves that are getting steeper.
