- Summary
- Some legislation considered by the current and previous Congresses has proposed combining cap-and-trade programs with various regulatory standards to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Greenhouse gases increase the amount of energy temporarily held in the lower atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would otherwise be. Such gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and several compounds that contain fluorine and chlorine. Cap-and-trade programs would place explicit restrictions on annual emissions, and producers whose activities generate greenhouse gases would be required to hold permits, called allowances, to continue to produce those emissions. The allowances would have economic value, and they would be tradable among companies and by individual people. ... Some regulatory standards already exist and others have been proposed that also would affect emissions of greenhouse gases. In some cases, regulatory standards would require producers of greenhouse gases to use specific technologies, such as renewable sources for generating electricity; in others, manufacturers would have to modify the performance of their products, such as commercial furnaces, to use energy more efficiently. Such regulatory standards have been used in the past to meet various environmental goals. ... Over the past two decades, policymakers have established cap-and-trade and other market-based programs because such programs often provide a more efficient way to reduce pollution than is possible through the imposition of regulatory standards alone. Market-based approaches rely on the interaction between producers and consumers to determine how to meet specific targets for emissions. Because policymakers do not always have enough information to tailor national regulatory standards to local circumstances, for example, or to adjust standards rapidly as market conditions change, regulatory standards do not always ensure that the least expensive solution is brought to bear on an environmental problem. Market-based approaches, in contrast, allow flexibility in the approach to meeting an environmental goal and often can achieve the same result at a lower cost
