emission

Canadians are doing moderately well at going green according to a new study by Statcan.

In one of his election promises, Obama said he would implement a cap-and-trade policy on emissions. This can be an efficient way of cutting carbon, but it can also lead to real problems, depending on the details of how it is done. If Obama is really going to implement a cap and trade policy, he should learn from Europe’s mistakes.

Environmentalists have generally come out in favour of Obama, and while  there is much similarity between the two presidential candidates on the environmental, with these issues, the details really matter.
