There is also an incredibly rich conversation going on right now in China on what market - based measures they might want to use — carbon tax, cap and trade, sectoral crediting.

All of which illustrates both the futility of making economic predictions and the futility of the philosophy behind carbon taxes, credits and trading.

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.

• A carbon tax, OR a robust carbon cap with a corresponding genuine (and regulated) marketplace for trading carbon credits.

With other approaches to an energy and climate bill blocked — including carbon taxes or a broader cap - and - trade mechanism for controlling emissions — the only viable alternative appears to be to limit a cap to utilities, the one sector that's already familiar with smokestack rules and markets in emissions credits.

In other words, Google's great initiative should not be seen as a reason to dodge the need for a carbon tax or a robust carbon cap combined with a genuine, credible, carbon credit trading market.

I think people should ask any company (or company representative) that claims to be «green», or wants to sell a «green» product to them, whether that company firmly supports a carbon cap of some sort (along with a well - regulated carbon credit trading mechanism) or a carbon tax.

Do you support, and will you implement, a «carbon tax» OR a robust carbon cap combined with a regulated mechanism of carbon credit trading?
