Top three Policy Suggestions from Al Gore
1) Carbon tax- people don't think about what they get for free. By charging for carbon, people will be more aware of their impact and more conscientious to control their output.
2) Subsidize renewable energy. By making the price more competitive sooner, the use of renewable energy will increase exponentially.
3) We can pay for these costs by eliminating the $500 billion subsidizes the US government gives to coal and oil companies every year. Basically all we are doing right now is paying the polluters!
