... The article does not seem to be on their web site so I cannot link it but grab the mag. It is a worthwhile read.
Terrible article. Keystone XL is a private project. If solar, wind, etc. could actually affordably replace the current mix of power sources, we would see lots of private money lining up to do it. It's time to stop subsidizing everything and see what really works economically.
You're right. Let's start by putting a proper price on pollution since right now polluters do not pay for the damage pollution does to the environment.It's time to stop subsidizing everything and see what really works economically.

It's behind a paywall.
That however is a sure call to achieve nothing. Like, if politicians in Germany want to sabotage a new environment protecting legislation, they call for the issue "to be regulated first on an European level". And in hindsight they bash EU for "sticking their nose into things that we at the local level can regulate far better."Agree 100%. But this should be done at global level not only in the USA.
I agree. Let's take away all the subsidies oil companies get in the form of the US military in the Middle East, tax credits for oil companies, etc.Terrible article. Keystone XL is a private project.
