Decarbonization is a long-term challenge, and it requires commitments to drive the investments required for innovation and deployment of non-fossil-fuel energy sources. But long-term commitments, which are more effective at driving investments, are also vulnerable to reversals due to electoral changes or pushback from existing fossil fuel interest groups.

This is the second in a series of posts. The first post is here. When people think about climate policy, they probably think that the goal of climate policy is reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And of course, the ultimate goal of climate policy is to reduce emissions, eventually getting us to an economy that is net zero. But there are many different possible policy paths to get to net zero, and we necessarily have to make a range of choices about which paths to pursue.
