Michael Totty argues that the government should put a price on carbon. Supporters of this say that if there is a price on carbon industries they would be encouraged to use a cleaner alternative. But, others believe that a better approach would be for the government to invest directly in clean- energy technologies.In the article it is stated that , "U.S emissions are declining more rapidly because of cheap natural gas."  With a price on carbon people will feel the need to look for alternatives.

Do you think the government should put a price on carbon?
