可再生能源的快速增长是促进清洁能源系统的更大政策议程的一部分。传统化石燃料技术排放对健康和环境的影响是改变能源系统的重要原因。在很大程度上，这些排放影响是外部性，为补充自然市场力量的政策提供了理由。对有害排放征税的理想例子为比较各种政策的有效性提供了基准。作者对全球选择的通过强制要求或补贴强制可再生技术来减少排放影响和外部性的政策方法提出了质疑。作者警告说，即使征收排放税，美国 2019 年太阳能平准化成本也将比先进燃气联合循环发电厂贵 90%。相反，作者赞成通过征收排放税来进行更好的市场设计，通过市场影响生产、消费和投资。他声称，这种税收将更好地刺激经济可再生能源供应和需求方替代方案的技术创新。
The rapid growth rates for renewable energy are part of a larger policy agenda to promote a cleaner energy system. The health and environmental impacts of emissions from traditional fossil fuel technologies provide a substantial reason for changing the energy system. For the greatest part, these emission impacts are externalities that provide a justification for policy to supplement natural market forces. The idealized example of a tax on harmful emissions provides a benchmark for comparing the efficacy of various policies. The author questions the policy approach that has been chosen around the globe to reduce emission impacts and externalities by forcing renewable technologies through mandates or subsidies. The author warns that solar levelized costs for 2019 entry would be 90% more expensive in the United States than an advanced gas combined cycle plant, even with emission taxes. The author favors, instead, a better market design, through an emission tax, that would work through the market to affect production, consumption, and investment. He claims such a tax would better stimulate technological innovation in economic renewable supply and in demand-side alternatives.
