At its core is bipartisan recognition of an inchoate, nationwide, don't-just-stand-there-do-something groundswell.  Where this sudden, tidal upheaval leads in the months ahead is anything but certain.  While empiricism and reason may exert some gravitational pull over time, for now the political instinct is to pander.

They are cognizant of the role quick start, fast ramp gas generation will play in integrating intermittent wind and solar generation until large scale, dispatchable demand response and storage technologies become commercial realities. They embrace the material environmental benefits offered by modern gas-fired plants when compared to coal, even if only a half-way step toward decarbonizing electricity. And they acknowledge the easier financeability of such plants in contrast to faith-based options like nuclear power.

How to properly value future costs and future benefits has long been a conundrum for decisionmakers in all walks of life who are called upon to choose between alternatives in the present.

It vividly illustrates a deep conflict in the government's policy objectives between meeting commitments made to the European Union concerning 2020 targets for renewables and fostering the vision for competitive electricity markets pioneered by the UK in the 1990s. Lurking in the background is the centrality which the London carbon market is expected to play in preventing catastrophic climate change.

Remarkably successful in bringing large amounts of renewable capacity online in Germany and Spain, the feed-in tariff has become the preferred policy mechanism for jurisdictions more intent on tangible results than the creation of abstract trading instruments, intermittent tax goodies or unenforceable portfolio requirements.

Two days after the derailment of the long-awaited climate debate in the US Senate, the International Energy Agency last week issued its how-to-do-it report on achieving a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The self-regarding greatest deliberative body in the world got sidetracked by a demand to have the 491-page bill read out loud. The IEA, energy think tank to the western nations that make up the OECD (think NATO without guns), made abundantly clear that achieving even the low end of the 50 - 85% reductions called for by the IPCC will require a "global revolution ... in the way that energy is supplied and used."
