Cap-and-trade puttering along quite nicely in the Northeast U.S

Grist: Last week, I argued that people shouldn`t be so gloomy about carbon-trading systems, despite the hue and cry around the European Union`s Emissions Trading System (ETS) right now. One example of a carbon-trading system that seems to be doing just fine is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which currently involves nine states in the U.S. Northeast. RGGI is pretty modest as these things go. It only covers power plants, and only those 25 megawatts or greater. (There are 211 covered plants...

Political insiders start firm targeting cap-and-trade cash
2013-02-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Greenwire: A group of people with ties to California Gov. Jerry Brown (D), the state Legislature and several key agencies yesterday announced that they have launched a new advocacy firm that will be focused in large part on helping businesses, tech firms and investors access bounty from the state's carbon reduction program. Clean Tech Advocates came together because there's "just a few billion dollars on the table of cap-and-trade revenue," said Patrick Leathers, founder and team leader for the company....
