Abstract

The article reports on a white paper issued by Democrats on the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee recommending a mandatory cap-and-trade program. The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 60 to 80% by 2050. The proposed program would cover five types of GHG: carbon dioxide, which was 84% of U.S. GHG emissions in 2005, methane, 7%; nitrous oxide, 7%; and fluorinated gases, 2%.
