Pollution is being priced into commodities

The carbon trading system is finally going to make a difference for the consumer and will reflect the true cost of pollution in the final price of what we buy, be it a plane ticket or a kwh of electricity.
Pricing things this way will allow a more accurate comparisons between polluting technologies and clean ones. And the price difference will fall, which in turn will allow cleaner technology to become more mainstream hence cheaper.

Now the next question is this: will the renewables/clean energy sources manage to provide enough energy for our hungry societies?
