Climate Change: Politics and Policy

What should the U.S. government do to deal with the threat of global warming? As Congress, corporations and the presidential candidates talk about climate legislation, many choices must be made. Should we have a carbon tax or cap-and-trade? Should emission allowances be auctioned or allocated? Should international offsets be allowed? What kind of "safety valve," if any, should be built into the legislation? What are the prospects for legislation this year, or in 2009? If Congress gets climate-change legislation right, will we need to subsidize renewables, set efficiency standards for cars, buildings and appliances or mandate biofuels?

A Carbon-Constrained America: Costs, Risks and Opportunities

What business risks and opportunities will be created if, as seems inevitable, the U.S. government regulates greenhouse gas emissions? Utility companies, oil and coal companies, automakers will all be affected. So will consumers, with higher bills for electricity and gas. How should companies of all kinds prepare for the de-carbonization of the U.S. economy?

Nuclear Power: A Debate

Nuclear plants emit very low levels of CO₂, produce an abundance of power, and operate via readily available technology. However, opponents point to the high risk of accidents, nuclear proliferation, and threat of terror attacks. Factor in the problematic disposal of radioactive waste and scarcity of uranium, and many question if nuclear power can ever be green or sustainable.
