I agree in principle. How do we set the price on emissions? Is there a market based approach? Maybe some form of credits that directly fund carbon capture?
I don’t think there’s a market based approach. Ultimately you need smart people to sit down and study the problem and come up with an approximate dollars per ton in costs.
I think this is the right idea but I also think measuring the harm is a really hard problem. Polluters should pay for cleanup. But how much does that cost really? How do we decide? Sure we can put smart people on the problem but what solution will they choose? I don’t mean this dismissively. It’s one of the biggest questions of our time. This is what we need to solve.
