The only market-based way to reduce greenhouse gases is a price on carbon, either a direct tax or a cap-and-trade system.

I am so frustrated that some people are behaving as if all that matters is the almighty dollar when in fact what matters to a heck of a lot of us is that our children and their children have a future on a sustainable planet.

In the future, they will wonder why we didn't DO more and at least they will know we tried THIS!
