  36. Policy Recommendations: Guidelines Eliminate perverse incentives-make money! Provide positive incentives-account for externalities. ie: putting a price on carbon-make money or revenue neutral. Regulate (higher mpg) Spend money The playing field is NOT level. Fossil Fuels have 100 years of subsidies,ignoring external costs, and a huge lobby in DC. Don’t expect the “free market” to take care of it.

  37. WHAT TO DO? Reactive or Pro-active? • WHAT DON’T WE HAVE? • Oil-zero • Coal-zero • Nat Gas-not much (landfills) • Why promote consumption • of something we don’t have? • * Conduct an audit of perverse incentives promoting FF use. Eliminate perverse incentives.

  38. WHAT TO DO? • DEALING WITH PEAK OIL IS GOOD FOR • Climate Change • Vermont Economy • Should do it anyway
