The price of electricity in the North East USA is among the highest in the world. This shows a good example of how super high energy prices and effective big government incentives can create signals in the market to force a new techno transformation forward. A world carbon (in addition to other non-renewable resources) tax right when it leaves the ground would do the same thing to push the markets in a more sustainable direction. If only there was a way to cooperate wisely as one world.
