Carbon Capture and Delay
As long as coal plants are still operating, it is a good idea to require them capture their carbon dioxide emissions. But those designing policies to hasten such practices must tread carefully, lest they unwittingly extend the life of dirtier energy sources.
How to Think About Climate-Tech Solutions
To think that technology will save us from climate change is to invite riskier behavior, or moral hazard. Whether a climate technology creates new problems has little to do with the solution, and everything to do with us.

Fear of Nuclear Power Should Not Stop Carbon Cuts
The severity of the climate crisis necessitates a new look at nuclear power
Fear of Geoengineering Is Really Anxiety About Cutting Carbon
Research into unproven technofixes isn’t a replacement for eliminating emissions, even if the debate over geoengineering is stuck on that concern.
Availability of risky geoengineering can make an ambitious climate mitigation agreement more likely
A simple model of climate negotiations shows how the mere threat of risky geoengineering might help induce a high-mitigation agreement.
Green Moral Hazards
The core question is whether any kind of technofix that sustains fossil-fueled capitalism and the status quo can be considered “green.”
Moral Hazard and Solar Geoengineering
Moral hazard [ˈmôrəl ˈhazərd, noun]—The lack of incentive to guard against risk when one is protected from its consequences.
