Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The WCI released a design document laying out its basic program parameters in September 2008. In May 2009, the Advisory Group released their draft final design recommendations.
