  Carbonomics: How to Fix the Climate and Charge It to OPEC
December 2008, 297 pages.  About,    Read for free,    Amazon,    Discount
Although written for a non-technical audience, this book is intended for policy experts. It unravels old debates between: orthodox economists, efficiency physicists, behavioral economists, peak-oil geologists, and environmentalists. It also presents new ideas on, fuel-efficiency, a carbon untax, and a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol. Summary.
 
  
  Reinventing Kyoto:  Why it failed.  What to do.
Sept. 14, 2009.    CDM & Sectoral Crediting Mechanism:  PDF    Spreadsheet
"SCMs: Costs, Rents and National Commitment Incentives." Copenhagen, will do little carbon pricing (unfortunately). Instead it will focus on how to pay developing countries to reduce emissions. SCMs are the best way, but they still discourage financial commitment.
June 29, 2009.    Flexible Global Carbon Pricing  PDF    Slides
An international carbon-pricing mechanism that allows caps for Europe and carbon taxes for those who reject caps and want financial predictability. A European University Institute Working Paper. For non-technical description, read Carbonomics, Part 4.
June 30, 2009.   How Offsets Killed Kyoto Protocol  PDF
International offsets make it profitable for poor countries to reject all forms of commitment including caps. But offsets, are too weak and corrupt to rein in emissions.

Will a Carbon Cap Undermine Standards     PDF Slides
March 31, 2009. Presented at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.  Abstract
 
  
  Carbon-Pricing Revenues: Their Use Is, in Essence, Funded by a Capitation Tax
December, 2008. PDF
Carbon caps or taxes generate revenues that represent the value of using the atmosphere. Common ownership of this resource suggests equal ownership of its value. Governmental appropriation of this value is an equal-dollar-per-person (capitation) tax.

  R & D  Programs for Hydrogen in the US and EU
December 2008.  with Cesar Dopazo    PDF   //   Madrid H2 Slides
How promising are current research efforts aimed at establishing a hydrogen-based energy economy? The current level of fuel-cell research it probably worthwhile, but there is little reason to hope that transportation will transition to hydrogen.
 
  
  The Surprising Value of Wind Farms as Generating Capacity
August 2008.    PDF
If wind is uncorrelated with load and a small part of total generating capacity, X megawatts of average wind output provides X megawatts of capacity value. Higher levels of wind output also have surprising capacity value.
