Suppose any environmental degradation arising from the US consumption of energy was subject to a Pigovian tax (a tax on consumption where the tax paid fully covered the environmental damage). For the purposes of a macroeconomic model, you may assume a Pigovian tax on consumption will reduce consumption, so you can model it as an autonomous decline in consumption. Starting from an initial macroeconomic equilibrium at full employment output, trace out the short run and long run adjustment to this...
