Van Jones: “The way that you get clean energy up in your country, and get the innovation up in your country, and get the jobs up in your country is to push down on the dirty stuff. Okay? To get the clean stuff up you got to push down on the dirty stuff.
“There’s only three ways to do that. [Ed. note: “Top down, bottom up, inside out”] You either regulate the dirty polluters real hard. Regulation. You tax ‘em real hard. Carbon tax. Or you make them buy permits for all that stuff they’re putting up in the air. Those are your only three options. Regulate them hard. Tax them hard. Make them buy permits. Make ‘em buy permits, that’s called cap and trade.
