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

Green Car Congress

Today, this cap-and-trade program is considered one of the most efficient and cost-effective environmental initiatives ever implemented. Environmentalists and industries resurrected the idea in recent years as a centerpiece of measures to address global warming and growing oil imports. Representatives Henry A. WCI covers seven U.S.
