Abstract

The article provides an outlook for a market-based system for reducing carbon emissions in the U.S. The nationwide fuel crisis is cited as one of the factors that increase the possibility of a mandated market-based carbon-cap system. The system is included in the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) introduced by Representatives Henry A. Waxman and Edward J. Markey. The market-based system is said to be more detailed in the Cap and Dividend Act of 2009 (CDA) introduced by Representative Chris Van Hollen.
