On cap and trade

Click on the title of this post for some interesting observations on cap and trade. It can't work unless we force the price of carbon so high that it is uneconomic to burn fossil fuels, and that will never be allowed to happen so long as everyone thinks a) economic benefit can be created while disregarding the environmental consequences, and b) this is a zero sum game in which we have to make someone else pay.
