emission rights

[Jester]

The zen of the free market: there is no shortage, there is no surplus. There is only the market-clearing price.

"The time has come, Walras said, to talk of many things: the price of ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings..."

There really is plenty of energy. It's the transformations that energy is used for that need to be examined (e.g. aluminum into pop cans filling landfills).

And who shall examine these transformations, that is not already examining them?

I don't like a "consumption driven economy" either, however the answer isn't to stop all consumption.

I'm now confused with both of you. What on earth is an economy for, if not consumption?
