Oh you betcha.

Subsidies of alternative energy sources, like billion dollar wind farms, can help reduce greenhouse gasses. So can subsidies of more efficient automobiles. And here's a Vegas example: the Springs Preserve complex was built so efficiently and generates so much solar energy, that it actually returns energy to the grid. Did it cost more money to build it that way? I bet it did.

The above type of actions also typically create more jobs and lower overall energy costs, although it could be argued that somewhat higher taxes hurt the economy - of the Cayman Islands.
