Recommendation
The price of renewable energy has decreased markedly, something that should help government efforts to address climate change. But the state also has the responsibility to help those who will be displaced by such efforts.

Yet he sees reason for optimism in fiscal plans to turn carbon emissions into carbon dividends that could support disadvantaged individuals and communities, while at the same time improving the environment and creating jobs.
