Pres. Obama on Cap on Emissions

Aug 17, 2007
Solution: 

  • Target: 80% cut in emissions below 1990 levels by 2050.
  • Enact an economy-wide cap-and-trade scheme with 100% allowance auction (no pollution rights given away for free).
  • Invest a portion of auction revenue ($15 billion per year) into clean energy, efficiency improvements, next-gen biofuels and cleaner cars.
