...push the transition to a cleaner, more efficient economy - the Plan B economy - Brown argues for a worldwide carbon tax to be phased in at $20 per ton each year between 2008 and 2020, topping out at $240 per ton. That might seem excessive, but Brown points out that even a carbon tax higher than $240 per ton wouldn't cover all the environmental and health costs of burning fossil fuels, from climate change to air pollution-related illnesses. And while it's difficult to imagine any politician standing up for such a tax, he reminds us that we already...
Altogether Brown calculates that his Plan B would cost the world an additional $190 billion a year. That might seem high, until he compares the price tag to the global military budget, which stands at more than $1.2 trillion.

For many at Romney's somewhat subdued "victory party," the idea that such a rational and well-researched plan could be upset by, as one woman put it, "a country sleaze" simply did not compute. Mitt Romney's concession was just being announced on CNN as precinct captains shook their heads. Some exclaimed, in the same polite sub-profanities that Romney might use: "Bull!" "Darn!" Somewhere, perhaps, even, "H-E-double hockey sticks!" Told that Fox News had just made a similar announcement...
...Romney finds himself on the ropes heading into next Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. With an already surging John McCain coming off a respectable showing in Iowa and Huckabee illustrating the limits of big money and organizational prowess, the consultant-in-chief faces a major challenge to his business plan...
