Leibowitz on Trade: Can Consensus on Renewables Break Policy Gridlock?

We’ve gotten so used to thinking about issues as Democrat vs. Republican, us versus them, that it’s gotten hard for us to make progress even on issues that we generally agree on – like lowering carbon emissions.

Renewable energy, and trade policy around renewables, are examples of an all-too-common problem facing the country: Interest groups marshal legal and political forces to prevent change. They are, regardless of policy affiliation, the conservatives.
