The latest, most urgent call to action from the IPCC has increased attention on policies to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. This article provides a primer on the three major policy building blocks available for reducing carbon pollution: pricing mechanisms, subsidies , and regulations.

A Triad of Problems - Energy Storage, Pollution and Monies Humanity has 99 problems but energy generation ain't one. Graphene batteries will solve that (and at the same time make all land-based transportation electrical). A second problem humanity needs to face, is marine pollution. What’s not to like?! That’s right.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.

Two examples of this are carbon capture , trapping CO2 before it is emitted and storing it elsewhere, and carbon credits/cap and trade programs , permits that allow a company to emit a certain amount of GHGs.
