It is hard to see why Krugman's column is a distraction. Designers don't
work in a vacuum. We work for businesses and companies, and these firms work
in an environment created and constrained by law.
Krugman is supporting the science here, not arguing against it. And he is
calling on the politicians who make the laws to think this through.
I agree. Underneath Krugman's essay was a practical report on a major design
issue: the design reasoning as to why it is essential to implement the
design of improved coal powerstations, rather that wait until replacements
for coal are developed
