[Peakoil] Peakoil Digest, Vol 125, Issue 9

[Mason Inman]

In case anyone is interested in more on Big Oil's call for a price on
carbon, here's my article for Nature from the summer, reporting from the
World Gas Conference in Paris. The companies were explicitly calling for a
price on carbon to help natural gas beat coal.

The big question is: how high of a price on carbon? Probably they'd want a
price just high enough to push out coal, but not high enough to help
renewables or efficiency displace natural gas.
