the contribution that the feds would make would be tax incentives and R&D. That applies to energy policy and seeking other sources of energy. What does this have to do with controlling climate change and global warming?

Would the "tax incentives" include sticks as well as carrots? And wouldn't federal funded R&D skew the direction that we would go in terms of other forms of energy? I would rather see a reduction of federal and state requirements on environmental impact regulations and restrictions on nuclear power, oil explorations, etc. that are hurting our ability to develop existing energy resources.
