Solution: ✔️ Increase price of powerplant emissions – Kotoo

Overall Assessment: ✔️If you're going to spend money on the problem, this is the most efficient place we've found to do it.

✔️ Pass ➖ Neutral ❌ Fail

Likelihood	✔️	100%	Data from the past 10 years has credited these investments with a 24% reduction in emissions from power plants than would have occurred without the market.
Speed	✔️	1 tons/year/ton	Our credits work this year, rather than accumulating over multiple years.
Contribution	✔️	62%	100% renewable energy would eliminate all emissions from power plants and 95% of emissions from any electric vehicles charging from the grid
Extensibility	✔️	100%
Ease	✔️		As easy as signing up for a monthly subscription
Cost	✔️	$20/ton
Scale	✔️
Trajectory	✔️		Increasing a price on emissions decreases the cost of renewable energy solutions - allowing developing countries to skip the coal phase as their demand for electricity increases. A more global

Definitions:

Likelihood - how likely is it to work?
Speed - how many tons does it remove each year, starting in the first year, for each unit?
Contribution - how much does this solution impact the US's footprint overall (%)?
Extensibility - how many people could this action be available to (% of US population)?
Cost - how much does it cost per ton of emissions avoided and what is the minimum cost to participate?
Scale - how much of the world's emissions could be mitigated by this solution?
Trajectory - Does this solution have the potential to create new technology that will help other countries avoid the same path as the US (increasing emissions with increasing quality of life)?
