What is the true price of the fossil fuel economy? Far higher than you might think, according to a new analysis from the International Monetary Fund. Not only is fossil fuel extraction subsidized by governments everywhere, but taxpayers end up footing the bill for the extensive environmental, public health, and military costs that go hand in hand with the hydrocarbon economy. The price, in the end? Too high for you and I -- and the planet -- to bear.
