[Q] -- FIRST U.S. CO2 AUCTION nets $38.5 million:
Whether you/we agree with it or not, Carbon Auctions have started in
the U.S. check out the AP article found on MSNBC below:
"ALBANY, N.Y. - The owners of Northeastern fossil fuel-burning power
plants, which are now required to buy credits to cover the carbon they
emit, spent nearly $40 million in the first cap-and-trade greenhouse
gas auction in the United States.
The auction, the results of which were released Monday, raised money
that will be spent by the 10 Northeast states on renewable and energy-
efficient technologies.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is viewed as a possible model
for a national program to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide." -
