Climate policy experts from think tanks and academia have urged the World Bank to begin calculating the social and environmental costs of carbon emissions from the projects it funds and to include these calculations in project assessments. But bank officials rejected the calls, saying that the calculations were too difficult and politically sensitive.

  • There is technology that will compete with coal at $2000/kw...run on solar, NG, liquid fuel, coal, wood pellets...and can get 4.6 times the average GM car fuel economy.

    There is NO need at all for any of this carbon tax nonsense. This technology will get well over 80% of the co2 out the the system...without any government action.

    STAY OUT OF THE MARKET. YOUR IDEAS are NOT solutions. YOUR control will kill the goose that solves the co2 "problem" as it were...

  • thanks for this, great idea's for an assignment
