Cap and trade schemes are money-making schemes and not much more.

There is a new carbon trading plan here in California that will exact fees for activities that would actually reduce pollutants going into the air. I’m aware of a proposal to recover methane gas from a landfill, which is now being flared. There’s a company willing to make a very large capital investment to convert the methane to electricity, but the regulators want a ridiculous amount of money because *caveman voice* methane is bad/global warming/ug.
