Carbon pricing has emerged as a market based policy solution to climate change. The general idea is that by making it more costly to pollute, we would eventually decrease demand for fossil fuels while incentivizing alternatives. This week, we discuss the basic concepts around carbon pricing and the bills that have been enacted or introduced so far both in the U.S. and internationally. Our guest this week is Executive Director of Climate XChange and long time advocate of carbon pricing, Michael Green.
