energy efficiency, including
trading systems for emissions
credits.
Gates hammered on points reported here for many years: that without a big, and sustained, boost in spending on basic research and development on
energy frontiers, the chances of triggering an
energy revolution are nil; that while the private sector and venture capital investors are vital for transforming breakthroughs into marketable products or services, they will not invest in the long - haul inquiry that's required to generate game - changing breakthroughs; that a 1 or 2 percent tax on carbon - emitting fuels could generate a large, steady stream of money for invigorating the innovation pipeline; that a declining emissions cap and
credit trading system --- if it could survive America's polarized politics --- would have to raise
energy costs far beyond what would be politically tenable to generate a similar scale of transformational activity.
However, if some (or many) of these efforts have some smoke - and - mirror aspect to them, or if they become the seemingly easy «solution du jour» and allow us to think that we can avoid larger solutions (fuel efficiency standards; carbon tax, or firm carbon cap combined with a robust and regulated carbon
credit trading mechanism; substantial investments in new
energy technologies;
energy conservation; etc.), their net impact can be more damaging than beneficial.

The four key differences are: 1) unlike the
Energy Policy Conservation Act (EPCA), the CAA [Clean Air Act] allows for the
crediting of direct emission reductions and indirect fuel economy benefits from improved air conditioners, allowing for greater compliance flexibility and lower costs; 2) EPCA allows Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV)
credits through model year 2019, whereas the EPA standard requires demonstration of actual use of a low carbon fuel after model year 2015; 3) EPCA allows for the payment of fines in lieu of compliance but the CAA does not; and 4) treatment of intra firm
