Toby Barlow: Financially Speaking, the End of the World Doesn't Make Sense - Yahoo! News: "we should do is get our government to tax the coal utilities what we think is fair to compensate for the extreme environmental damage they are causing, and apply those funds raised to subsidies for solar installation and research. It's that simple. Level the playing field to bring greater benefit to the planet. Yes, a tax like that would raise energy rates, but that would lead to a greater demand for conservation. Write you congressman, help make it happen. Then even the shortsighted people like Mr. Darlin will have to embrace solar. Even in New Jersey."
