The left seems to be focused on regulating carbon cost as a solution. IMO that just creates an artificial ceiling that can be lifted, for a fee to the market holders, anytime we need jobs. Carbon regulation would be a modern spin on the old tax for moving goods.
How about requiring Georgia Pacific to replant the stripmined western forests on Federal land. Coniferous forests sequester carbon at an amazing rate and we always need more 2x4's.
