Post-Webinar Q&A

Webinar Questions: 

Why is a cap approach better than a carbon fee, especially an accelerating fee?

Is it true that California’s Cap & Trade program does not address transportation emissions?

Is it true that RGGI GHG reduction stalled during the Great Recession because need for energy declined and there was no political will to reduce the cap?

Is banking of allowances incompatible with the objective to reduce emissions? Is banking of excess carbon permits a necessary and fundamental feature of cap & trade approaches?
