Subject | "cap and trade" vs. "cap and dividend" |
Comment | These comments address your plans for a "cap and trade" strategy for dealing with CO2 emissions. Cap and trade is fundamentally flawed because it rewards the state's biggest polluters by giving them (corporate welfare?) credits that the consumers must ultimately pay for and that Wall Street tycoons can trade for huge profits. A far better approach to reducing CO2 emissions and supporting our economy (i.e. putting money into the hands of people that will spend it) is cap and dividend. By charging the corporations for the opportunity to pollute and dispersing that money to the citizens of this state, we put power into the hands of consumers to choose alternatives.
