However, unless there is a significant advancement with fossil fuels, they too will directly impact consumer prices, as we will find ourselves dealing with "hard to drill, more expensive though abundant" fossil fuels. All above arguments have to be considered in light of end of the era of "cheap" fossil fuels. How much $$ are the two options (do nothing and continue with fossil VS. support renewables) worth on a lifecycle basis should be a discussion involving not only economists, but also geologists & technologists (drilling experts). Discount that escalation in consumer prices or value of future subsidies required to fund fossil fuels-- it is only then you get a REAL economics & determine if consumers will benefit or not. Any other analysis approach adopted will only result in unleveled playing field & subjective discussions, whereas the need of the hour is fact-based objective approach.

EPA turns out to be too clever by half. As Roger Pielke, Jr. and Michael Shellenberger astutely observe, Team Obama’s threat to regulate greenhouse gases via the Clean Air Act (CAA) unless Congress enacts cap-and-tax legislation is tantamount to a promise to commit political suicide. However costly cap-and-tax might be, litigation-driven CAA regulation of greenhouse gases is potentially far more damaging to the economy. Instead of being a hammer that beats opponents into submission, EPA’s forthcoming endangerment finding–the first step in regulating greenhouse gases under the CAA–should strengthen Congressional Republicans’ resolve to fight cap-and-tax. By doing so, they will ensure that Obama and his allies bear all the blame for raising consumer energy prices, destroying jobs, and de-stimulating the economy. For further discussion, see my post on MasterResource.Org.
