Thus, the problem with the proposals currently being discussed in Congress: They will, for the foreseeable future, direct private investment toward the least expensive emissions reductions (such as burning methane from landfills, purchasing forest land for carbon sequestration, or
retrofitting power plants and
buildings so they operate more efficiently) rather than toward breakthrough technologies (like
low - cost solar
energy and carbon capture and storage), which are too expensive to become widely adopted today but which are vital for creating a new
energy economy and thus drastically reducing emissions.
