The high cost of cap and trade: cap-and-trade programs to control carbon-dioxide emissions are an unacceptably costly way to deal with the supposed problem of man-made global warming.(ENERGY)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The term "cap and trade," in terms of a plan to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions into the air, is one that is heard widely of late as a proposed solution for the supposed problem of global warming. It will be discussed with more frequency as cap-and-trade proposals that failed to pass in the last Congress are reintroduced this year. But many people are still a little hazy about what "cap and trade" actually means.
