Any ideas on where to send this guy? He probably
has as much influence as most of us put together! Thanks, Rob

Subject: Hello from a former student Hi
Professor,
I was in your ES51
course my senior year at Brown, back in spring 2004. I'm now working for Morgan
Stanley in New York; I definitely miss college, but its been a pretty good job
so far.
There has been an
interesting shift in the firm over the last 6 months in placing a greater
emphasis on the reality of global warming and a desire to understand how
companies might be incentivised to clean up under a new legal regime. Its pretty
heartening stuff to hear, and I was hoping you could recommend some reading (in
addition to your book of course!) about who would be winners and losers under
Kyoto, how an emissions trading system would work, and other incentives that may
be put in place to encourage better environmental stewardship. In a
related note, one interesting proposal that we've been hearing kicked around is
that the U.S. Government would give Ford and GM a massive credit for their
healthcare costs, in exchange for large improvements in fuel economy. Its a
long-shot with this administration, but interesting
nonetheless.
Hope all is
well!
best,
Andrew
