LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Carbon fee will spur innovation

The Sun has done the world a favor by publishing the excellent letter “Climate solution is achievable” on Nov. 21.

I would add that the price on carbon will lead to significant increases in efficiency. We will find that it is cheaper to avoid buying energy by increasing home insulation, building lighter vehicles, etc., than to pay the real price for energy from fossil carbon. Today, we put the cost of the pollution on the rest of the world.
