How to Fix America's Energy Crisis (page 2 of 4)

Create a carbon credit law, similar to one in Europe, that allows companies to spew out a certain amount of carbon. If a company exceeds its limit, it has to buy another company's credits.
Start a "feebate." On a sliding scale, charge a "fee" for cars that emit more carbon dioxide, like Hummers, and offer a "rebate" on cars that spew less, like hybrids.
Promote nuclear energy use by building new plants. Support the DOE's Next Generation Nuclear Plant program to develop more efficient reactors and give tax credits to investors.
Raise CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standards, which require automakers to make vehicles with better gas mileage, from 27.5 mpg to 42 mpg in ten years.
