Turning carbon allowances into cash
Filed Under Cap and Trade, EU ETS, Obama, US Carbon Allowances, US Carbon Credits | Comments Off
Businessweek has an article out describing a well known glitch in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) that basically gave the European companies free valuable assets (carbon allowances) that they are now selling for cold hard cash.
Dont get your hopes up though US. Obama wont make the same mistake the Europeans made.
