cap and trade is all about revenue and control and the usual transfer of power to Washington and of wealth to the poor, acorn, unions, etc. it does nothing for the environment, except probably make things worse. they're selling the offsets so there won't be any reduction in CO2.
the costs people are throwing around like $200 or $800 are very misleading.
that's only the tip of the iceberg, only an accounting of the allowances. it doesn't take into acount the economic effects, this bill wrecks the economy.
the aggressive pursuit of renewable energy is what helped to put California in the shape its in.
