More and more people believe we must quickly wean ourselves from fossil fuels - oil, natural gas and coal - to save the planet from environmental catastrophe, wars and economic collapse. In this 2006 book, Professor Jaccard argues that this view is misguided. We have the technological capability to use fossil fuels without emitting climate-threatening greenhouse gases or other pollutants. The transition from conventional oil and gas to their unconventional sources including coal for producing electricity, hydrogen and cleaner-burning fuels will decrease energy dependence on politically...

Concerned citizens can drive the energy transition needed to prevent climate change by their personal choices and their identification and support of climate-sincere politicians. Jaccard explains the simplicity and modest cost of decarbonizing electricity and transportation in developed countries and spreading that critical change worldwide.

We all want to reduce the risks of global warming, but how much will this cost? What will it mean on a personal, business, or community level? What policy responses should we expect from our governments?

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a major environmental challenge facing Canada and the world, yet we know little about how to do this, what it will cost, what it means on a personal, business, and community level, and what policy response we should expect from our governments. The Cost of Climate Policy is a comprehensive look at these pressing issues. Using the Kyoto commitment as its focal point, the authors estimate the costs of grenhouse gas emission reduction in Canada. Sectoral and regional costs are presented in terms of their impact on the energy prices, technology options, and...
