They could mute some of the left-wing environmentalists’ criticism if they combined accelerated greenlighting in all forms of production with a program of national emissions trading reducing quotas over time.

This won't satisfy the climate left. They don't want increased production (unless it's rooftop solar) and they don't want cap-and-trade.
