And yet the point is the same. This cap and trade thing is designed to use funny math to punish energy producers. What the frack kind of logic goes behind trading emmisions? Yoiu might as well apply that to abortion and say in order to limit it, were going to cap the number of abortions per state, and states that dont have a lot of abortions can sell their quota to states that do. This is essentially what they are going to do with pollution. Only a politicians can come up with that bullshit.
