Emission reduction policies are complex recipes with uncertain results Policies to change society’s fuel habits and the emissions they produce come as either a carrot or a stick. The carrot is public subsidization of emissions-free fuel development. The stick hits carbon emitters with a price for polluting. The trillion-dollar question is what variant of each — or combination of the two — will be most effective at combating climate change and least damaging to the economy. |

More Saudi oil goes to China than U.S.
The proportion of deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico first began to outpace drilling at shallower depths in the early 1980s, figures from the U.S. Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service show. The gap grew steadily until the late-1990s, when production from deepwater plays rose dramatically. The sudden increase in deepwater activity lends credence to the argument that oil is increasingly harder and more expensive to access.
