Fantasizing about a low-carbon future | Myron Ebell - GlobalWarming.org
One of the problems with relying on EPRI’s or any of the economic models to predict the costs of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is that they assume that political decisions will be made in a rational, orderly way that will allow economic decisions to be made in an efficient way. The Waxman-Markey energy rationing bill (H. R. 2454) is just the latest disproof of this assumption. The bill creates a cap-and-trade program to reduce emissions and then adds several hundred other programs to pay off individual special interests. Nearly all these programs get in the way of the efficient working of cap-and-trade. They will raise the costs of making mandatory reductions beyond what any model can predict.
