This has to be the most insane take I’ve ever read. There is no shortage of would-be fossil fuel producers if the price is high enough. Norway, on the other hand, by restricting consumption of fossils pays “early adoption fees” for greener tech. That’s not the most direct way to invest oil dollars in renewables, but it’s certainly one, and it works.



Surely, higher oil prices would be good for the environment, though. While I don't think one necessarily has to agree with the arguments in the article, this is hardly an insane take.
