The United States and other nations are seeking to address emissions of carbon dioxide through various energy policies. Given a choice of acting directly, such as imposing taxes on the use of fossil fuels, and acting indirectly, such as through subsidies for renewables, governments have chosen to act indirectly. Is this a good choice and what are the downsides of acting indirectly?
