Seven Western states, led by California, and four Canadian provinces (how eastern Ontario and Quebec got into this I don’t know) have formed a carbon-dioxide cap-and-trade organization.
But, behind the rollout are a couple of stark facts.
First, its setup is similar to the European Union’s original carbon market, which was later found to be badly skewed.
Second, Utah is a member. Can it really be that rigorous?
Yes, it’s the “most far-reaching effort in North America” yet.
That’s about like being the best snowmobile driver in Florida.
Read for yourself, though, to see if this is more hope or hype.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
