NYT's Friedman Says "Massive Carbon Tax" is the Road to Green

World-renowned columnist explains that utilities need a carbon tax to be pushed towards green energy development.

Without pain or a "price signal," being green will always be just fashion, he said. A so-called "green revolution" underway is really just a "green party," he said.

"Have you ever been to a revolution where no one got hurt," he told the crowd of about 1,000 today at the Emerging Issues Forum at N.C. State University. "If there's one thing we could use, it's a little, change or die."
