The President said, “Because our future depends on our ability to break [...]
United States Pushes For Cap-And-Trade
President Obama spoke up about America moving toward a cap-and-trade market. “Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.” Duke Energy Corp. and BlackRock Inc. backed the President’s push for a market-based cap on greenhouse gas emissions. The Edison Electric Institute also supports the President’s plan. Recently, Edison reported [...]
