Opinion | The Case for Subsidizing Electric Vehicles

Jan 6, 2025 | wsj.com | Fred Krupp

Honda and Nissan recently announced plans to merge by 2026. Unthinkable 10 years ago, the merger is intended to keep the companies competitive as the automobile industry makes a transition to electric vehicles.

Sep 20, 2024 | fredericknewspost.com | Fred Krupp

The Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration’s signature legislative achievement, was intended to do more than bring prices down: It also contained smart provisions to protect the climate. Now, the fossil-fuel industry is lobbying to secure loopholes in rules on hydrogen-production incentives that will reward them but hurt the planet. kAm%9:D >F=E:3:==:@?\5@==2C 7:89E :D C@@E65 :?

Nations across the Global South are facing a searing dilemma, and the choices they make will impact us all.

Climate action costs money. A global transition to a cleaner future requires companies to invest—and many want to. But they’re limited by overly rigid constraints on market-based tools like carbon credits, which allow businesses that can’t currently remove all their emissions to address them. The result is confusion—and likely billions in deterred climate investment.
