I think there’s plenty of common ground between free-market types and environmentalist types. Yesterday, during a UN climate conference in Rio, enviros launched a twitter campaign with the hashtag #EndFossilFuelSubsidies.

While I think the Left often has too broad a definition of “oil subsidy,” there are real fossil fuel subsidies in the U.S., and many more overseas. Matt Yglesias hit on this back in January.
