Trains can save the world.That may sound a bit hyperbolic, but it’s true. Traveling by train—instead of plane or car—reduces carbon emissions, weans the nation from oil, and revitalizes dying communities.In fact, the benefits are so overwhelming that I insist on taking the train almost anywhere I go—including when leaving Cambridge for home.

...problem. For example, the cap-and-trade system, which consists of an overall cap on emissions and the buying and selling of emission permits, has been very successful, especially in the sulfur allowance market, he said. Kolstad expects to see “major progress” in carbon emissions in the U.S. over the next two years. The event, which attracted approximately 100 faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduates, was organized by the Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP). Kolstad is the second visiting scholar in this seminar series. Director of HEEP Robert N. Stavins, an economist at the Kennedy...
