Texas

Posted on June 2, 2015 by climatechangefork

Carbon taxation in any form will probably never make it in Texas. It’s a red state that likes its independence, especially when a Democrat presides in Washington. Historically, its residents have shared an intense hatred of regulations and taxes. To … Continue reading →

Back to the United States: Smaller Scope, Bigger Hope?

Posted on May 19, 2015 by climatechangefork

Lately I have been looking at Canada’s progress in the stuttering energy transition, however the United States might be a better focal point for assessing the impact that bottom-up policies (from smaller regions below the level of sovereign states) can … Continue reading →
