3、omises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bitof action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all livingorganisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that

4、the easiest way to reduce somethingis to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power,the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, whichwould see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive comparedwith gas

5、, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would notremove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it wouldnarrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price -

6、 a usefulprinciple in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cutcosts, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But thedisadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decad

7、e of trying, the EuropeanUnion gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germanys ruling coalitionis fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that evenmentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could bemet if a carbon tax

8、were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payrollor sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new waysto tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument,not to abandon it.(1)0A c c o r d i n gt oth ep a s s a g e

Before long, the earthen castles werereplaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, andalso were much more able

39、 to withstand any attack by an invader.From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. They were not just usedby the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knightsor barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, startingwith

40、William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to buildcastles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the kingsrepresentative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to workand pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the k

41、ing. These knights and baronsbuilt castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples,and to symbolize their power and wealth.By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, militarynecessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis

42、placed on defense and moreon comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely andreplaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearmsand the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castlesendurance.Despite their

43、 decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed theirpassions by naming their newly built houses, castle. This ill-informed romanticismhad its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restoremany ruined castles.Even today, centuries after they were

44、active in British history, the castles of Britainhave established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castleshave demonstrated not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noblebuilders, but also the rise and set of Bri t i s hE m p i r e .( 1 )0T h ec a
