An indulgence would be akin to letting someone pollute for money without regard to the cap.

The trade part means that for someone to pay to pollute, someone ELSE takes money to pollute even less.

Bad scheme, ripe for corruption. Another rotten idea by free market zealots. - nomad 2012-05-02 10:25:00 (40 views)

as opposed to what? Making every factory cut its emissions by 50%? - DC Warrior 2012-05-02 10:27:30 (46 views)
