Batteries, cars, efficiency
But still quite small
Technical progress everywhere
Happy if oil prices are low?
Fossil prices low BAD because: Stop renewables research and deployment Stop Efficiency investments Encourage waste, Stop insulating houses Encourage fertilizers, aluminium, gasguzzlers, sprawl Frighten solar investors So oil price fall means more to ALCOA than Paris
Fossil prices low good because: Keep oil and gas in the ground Dont build Xcel pipeline Dont develop heavy tarsands, Stop fracking and drilling Frighten investors with stranded assets

HETEROGENEOUS ABATEMENT COSTS MBI 2 polluters 20 t each. Total to be cut in ½. MC 1 = a 1 and MC 2 = 4a 2 1. Equal abatement of 10 units each costs 250$ (½ 10*10 + ½ 10*40) 2. Equal MC due to trading means firm one will sell 6 rights to firm 2. Firm 1 abates 16 and firm 2 abates 4. Cost is 160 $ (saving 36%) (½ 16*16 + ½ 4*16) 3. This can also be achieved by a tax of 16 Thomas Sterner Policy Instruments

Koldioxidskatt, klimatbistånd och att Sverige skalar upp sina inköp och annullering av utsläppsrätter är de allra viktigaste åtgärderna. Skulle man slopa subventioner till fossila bränslen och genomföra en global koldioxidskatt så skulle klimatproblemet vara löst,
