No solution will work unless it works with and not against market forces. Government, in order to be effective, has to paddle with the current to accomplish what it needs to accomplish.
This means using tools like tax credits, incentives, taxation based on usage such as BTU tax, deed restrictions, effective enforcement of environmental laws, pollution licenses, citizen lawsuits, careful use of public land. As opposed to brute-force approaches like treaties, eminent domain, zero tolerance.
The economics of the matter don't disappear because government gets involved. The power behind the matter is tied to the economics.
