Comment | First, thank you for your continued efforts in leading the march toward a sustainable and healthy environment. Your plan to reduce global warming while also creating jobs is a major step in the right direction. Of particular importance is the plan for a steady transition from today's conditions to limits that will produce the desired ends while maintaining economic balance. However, I urge you to learn from the experience of the European Union. Europe was far too generous in giving away permits to polluters--to the extent that far too little reduction in pollutants occurred. Please do not give free credits to polluters. Instead force them to pay for the emissions they create by buying permits at auction. The resulting funds can be used to sustain and promote additional measures for easing the swift transition to a better environment. |
