Can Green Energy Tax Cuts Help Beat Global Warming?

By Noble Profit

Most people hate paying taxes. In this video interview (see below), Rod Richardson, the blogger behind Green Energy Tax Cuts, puts forward a unique spin on the polarized politics and issues on climate change we face today--fight global warming by eliminating all taxes on green energy investments. Rod argues this will lead to a massive influx of new investment in clean energy, and produce less pain and more prosperity than any existing policy alternative, with an appeal across party lines...because it won't cost the taxpayer a dime.

The Green Energy Tax Cuts proposal fuses a traditionally liberal passion about global warming and clean energy with a traditionally conservative love of tax cuts and supply side economic policy. In this interview, Rod explains how liberals and conservatives can come together on this issue, and shows a possible avenue towards consensus.  Richardson firmly believes that it is politically and economically more powerful to grow the clean energy sector through tax cuts. He explains that by eliminating investment, capital gains and estate taxes on green energy, we can rapidly attract new investment toward successful business models.
