Cost by conventional reserve

Large energy subsidies are present in many countries (Barker et al., 2001:567-568).[1] Currently governments subsidize fossil fuels by $557 billion per year.[2][3] Economic theory indicates that the optimal policy would be to remove coal mining and burning subsidies and replace them with optimal taxes. Global studies indicate that even without introducing taxes, subsidy and trade barrier removal at a sectoral level would improve efficiency and reduce environmental damage. Removal of these subsidies would substantially reduce GHG emissions and stimulate economic growth.

Today, 6/10/14, Moneywatch online reported that Warren Buffet plans to double his $15 Billion investment in renewables: [4] Has anyone charted how much needs to be invested in renewables to ultimately displace all carbon based energy production? Globally? By country? If investors like Buffett and governments like China were to double their investments in renewables every couple of years, and this became a proven investment strategy, how long before countries like China become free of coal burning electric plants? It might become a worthwhile goal... -JessPatrick — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessPatrick (talkcontribs) 19:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

See also http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29310475 (rockefeller brothers foundation withdrawing all their investments from fossil fuel sectors) So, yes, I think the global move is gearing towards renewable energy. Perhaps we can mention it in the article ?
