The author also fails to discuss where all that revenue will come from once we shift away from fossil fuels, and ignores the reality that as energy consumes a larger and larger percentage of GDP, it cause disinvestment in many areas, including social services, health care, and pensions. Your model dramatically raises both fuel costs and taxes, and destroys huge swaths of the economy which have nothing to do with energy.. I think this is the primary reason we will never see global cooperation in climate change. We will begin to see old fashioned resource wars as societies fight over fuel supplies. It’s not a pretty picture, and it will produce the opposite of the author’s envisioned socialist utopias.
