I was saddened to hear of the passing of William Nordhaus last Friday. Nordhaus won the Nobel Prize in 2018 “for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis”, and it is his work on climate change and economics that he might be best known for.

While I am pet-sitting for my sister in California, she is letting me use her beach-community house and electric car. It has been nice driving past gas stations with prices so high. She also has residential solar panels to charge her car (and run her other devices). The panels generate enough power that she is almost…
