A declining cap on fossil fuel consumption has a much larger set of unknowns regarding technology, resources, and other shifts that could affect the cost of compliance. These real health and environmental costs not currently included in the purchase price of fossil fuels are commonly referred to as the social cost of carbon.

We write about CO2 emissions of fossil fuels quite a bit on CleanTechnica, but there is something that bears repetition as well. It is that renewable energy typically uses much less water than other electricity sources. The overuse of water, including for our power plants, is something that critically threatens our children.
