News / Clout City The skinny on cap and trade
Posted by Mick Dumke on 05.27.09 at 12:04 PM
Last week a U.S. House committee approved legislation that would start the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions by putting a price on them. Cap-and-trade programs place upper limits on pollution and let companies that remain under them trade their extra “allowances” for money.
Needless to say, not everyone’s on board with the proposal, mostly because they fear it will be a jobs killer at a time when we can least afford it. So many compromises had to be made just to get the bill through committee that it’s now under attack from both the left and the right.
Meanwhile, a growing number of state governments and regional environmental groups have decided there’s no sense in waiting for federal action. Western and northeastern states have already mapped out their own cap-and-trade system, and about two weeks ago representatives of six state governments forged an agreement with business and environmental leaders to get one going in the upper midwest.
Among the advisers who helped put the agreement in place was Henry Henderson, the Sun Ra-quoting director of the Midwest Program of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Henderson, who previously served as an assistant Illinois attorney general and as Chicago's environment commissioner, took a few minutes to explain to me why he thinks this is a big deal.
MD: So what’s the story here? How did this come about?
HH: In November 2007, the midwest governors committed to a series of policy dialogues on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and putting in place a shared approach to carbon caps. The governors appointed an advisory group, which I sit on, and we’d been working since then on an accord.
We just passed our framework to the governors. It includes coal-based utilities, energy and gas interests, renewable energy groups, and NGOs like mine.
The last meeting of the advisory council, which was earlier this month in Minneapolis, was extraordinarily intense. On the final day, this agreement was worked out [after negotiations] with several coal utilities.
I have to ask why you think a cap-and-trade program is the best approach here. Some people have instead pushed for a carbon tax, which would still put a price on polluting and seemingly be simpler.
What is being moved forward in this agreement and in the House bill is a declining cap, which we need so that over time we get to the emissions level we need to protect us. A tax doesn’t create a limit on what you can emit. And it doesn’t generate the economies that a trading system does, which we saw with very successful caps on sulfur dioxide emissions.
Burning coal produces a whole lot of sulfur dioxide that creates acid rain, and it fell into our fresh water and killed a lot of lakes and rivers. Under the Clean Air Act, we set a cap that said you cannot emit more than this of sulfur, and if you do, you have a budget that you can’t go above. And if you do you have to go out and buy a series of permits. Other people who are subject to these controls have an interest in going well below what their budget is so they can generate excess value, and others purchase it. Therefore you have a market means for improving air quality.
With this kind of a system you charge fees for transactions, creating a specific funding stream that can go into mitigating the problem. And finally, among the people who are most vociferous about this are people who hate taxes. So it’s a pragmatic political thing.
Congress is already working on legislation that would create a federal cap-and-trade system. Why did you create another one at the regional level?
This agreement says that we in the midwest support firm federal action to set up a cap-and-trade system, and that this is what we think it needs to include—that there is a robust allocation structure that allows for auctions of carbon allowances and modest fees on those transactions that flow into a trust.
It also says that if there’s a failure of national action, a regional cap-and-trade system reflecting this package is what we will move on, and that it aligns us with initiatives in the northeast and the west.
So what exactly would this agreement do?
It would create an 18 to 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2020. There’s an incredibly lively debate happening in the U.S. Congress with a carbon cap-and-trade bill that creates a 17 percent reduction—so this, from the carbon-heavy manufacturing, car-centered part of the country, has a more rigorous cap. Which I think is an interesting thing, because people have been saying that a national policy will never happen because of resistance from the midwest. But here we’ve got this group that says it’s in our interest to set these goals and invest in a new economy.
[Michigan governor Jennifer] Granholm says whenever you hear the words “global warming” you should think of the opportunity to create jobs for Michigan and the midwest. Under this agreement, part of the return on the price of allowances goes into a technology development fund.
It’s now before the governors. They are reviewing it.
You had some resistance from some business and industrial leaders.
There are definitely some major sources of resistance, as you can see from what you’re hearing in Congress. There are people who think this is the end of civilization. There are groups who think this is not economically sound and a betrayal of economic principles.
But NRDC is part of a group called the U.S. Climate Action Partnership. Who else is part of it? Companies like Duke Energy, ConocoPhillips, General Electric, and the Ford Motor Company. They understand that there’s a need for firm federal action that puts a price on greenhouse gas and creates the opportunity to invest in a new clean energy economy.
And that happens because it becomes relatively less expensive to develop low-polluting technology.
Yeah. Because it puts a price on carbon, it creates more opportunities and competition for clean energy and energy efficiency. Right now dirty energy is getting a subsidy.
Let’s look at the two coal-fired power plants in Chicago, Fisk and Crawford. All of the carbon dioxide they create, they dump freely into our air. That’s public property. They also create particulate matter. They’re dumping poison and it’s being subsidized by our lungs. They’re also dumping energy into the canal [during the cooling process]. In other words, they cannot even deliver all the energy they create. We have an antiquated energy system.
You said the discussions on the accord were intense. What did you have to compromise on to make it stick?
We wanted 25 percent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We wanted all of the allowances for emitting carbon to be auctioned right away; what’s being discussed is that it wouldn’t be a 100 percent auction, but a period of transitions. But this is the way public policy is made.
You served under Mayor Daley as the city’s first environment commissioner. The mayor keeps saying he wants to make Chicago the greenest city in America. As a longtime environmental advocate, how do you honestly think we’re faring?
I look at the aspirations of cities, states, and businesses to be the greenest anything to be very helpful. That said, it’s an extraordinarily hard thing to measure, but there are a whole range of things that are very positive about what’s happening in Chicago.
Take the city’s climate action plan, which lays out what can happen if we don’t take action, and identifies a whole range of things that can help us make changes and adapt to them, starting with our energy policies. One of the things we don’t have to deal with in the city of Chicago is the absence of a mayoral government that is ready to move forward and make decisions.
There are a number of integrated developments we need to press on in this region, such as water, water usage, and energy usage. One of the largest uses of energy in this country is the use and treatment of water. But drinking water is treated by utterly different bureaucracies than the people who deal with energy and with waste. Municipalities have the opportunity to move these things closer together, and rather than looking at a list of stand-alone issues—is it green in this way or this way?—they should be asking how they’re being integrated.
The city of Chicago sits on the edge of 20 percent of the world’s fresh water, and I think it’s a real resource for thoughtful leadership on these integrated questions.

Cap and trade is crazy. Effectively, we Americans will be adding an additional tax to our energy bills. Why are we about to do this? Because the United Nations shouts 'climate crisis'. The problem with the scenario is that the United Nations is a political organization riddled with power grabbing and backroom deals. Why the heck are we relying on them for scientific judgment? Why aren't we listening to an American climate commission? We don't have one, that's why. As I said, it's crazy. The underlying premise of cap and trade--that CO2 drives global warming--is based on United Nations' climate reports that are tainted by politics and agenda. Plus, there's been a lot of new climate discoveries since Kyoto that are omitted from the reports. Frankly, the reports don't pass the smell test -- see www.energyplanusa.com . America needs our own objective scientific assessment of global warming. I am a Democrat who for the past 20 years believed global warming was caused by CO2. I've had my doubts but now after reading the UN reports I realize that all along the fix was in. The UN reports are politics not science. We need our own objective climate commission to think through the global warming and CO2 issues.

Those brainwashed to the point of wanting to destroy the economy to "prevent global warming" are behaving like the most primitive human beings who were duped into believing that human sacrifices would ensure them good weather. Human beings don't have the power to control climate! And killing the economy will not help the environment. Poor countries can’t protect the environment. Just look at Haiti! No patriotic and informed American can support the global warming/cap and trade scam, more fraudulent than any Nigerian scam. Cap and trade represents huge taxes and cost increases, which will hurt mostly the poor and the middle class. Cap and trade will give dictatorial powers to Obama and will further enrich his billionaire friends (Gore, Soros, Goldman Sachs, Obama’s Chicago Climate Exchange friends, GE, etc.) -- all at our expense and at the expense of our children and grandchildren. Cap and Trade “would be the equivalent of an atomic bomb directed at the U.S. economy—all without any scientific justification,†said famed climatologist Dr. S. Fred Singer. It would significantly increase taxes and the cost of energy, forcing many companies to close, thus increasing unemployment, poverty and dependence.
realclimate.org real climate scientists. they will answer your questions and dispel your doubts, IF you are prepared to learn. they even have a page called "Start Here": http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/05/start-here/ NASA (even Bush couldn't silence all of the results): http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalWarming/global_warming_update3.php "Ultimately, global warming will impact life on Earth in many ways, but the extent of the change is up to us. Scientists have shown that human emissions of greenhouse gases are pushing global temperatures up, and many aspects of climate are responding to the warming in the way that scientists predicted they would. Ecosystems across the globe are already affected and surprising changes have already taken place. Polar ice caps are melting, plants and animals are migrating, tropical rain is shifting, and droughts are becoming more widespread and frequent. Since greenhouse gases are long-lived, the planet will continue to warm and changes will continue to happen, but the degree to which global warming changes life on Earth depends on our decisions." the junk science out there has largely been financed by the oil industry's many lobbying groups. I have yet to see a single paper published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal that disproves climate change/global warming.
Looks like our good friend Mr. Sosa is spamming the universe: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-chameides/deep-ocean-revisions-do-n_b_205945.html?show_comment_id=24578042#comment_24578042 but more importantly, he inadvertently proved my point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Singer#Industry_cooperation "Singer has been a consultant to various major corporations, including GE, Ford, GM, Exxon, Shell, Sun Oil, Lockheed Martin and IBM.[14][15] In the 1990s Singer worked together with a number of industries whose interests matched his views on controversial issues, notably on global warming and on the effects of tobacco smoke and ozone on human health."

I think Cokes was on Brown's payroll and she lost. Are we seeing a pattern here?
I want to thank Avis for exposing this DALEY scam. When you look at the names on this list, all you see are DALEY HACKS. This exposes the 1950 scam they intend to pull in Feb. 2011 mayoral election. DORTHY IS ONCE AGAIN THE RINGER TO SPLIT THE BLACK VOTE IN CHICAGO. i"m her momma and I'm tell all you people with children in this crime ridden, corrupt city, DON'T FALL FOR THESE DISCRACEFUL ACTS AGAINST DEMOCRACY AGAIN. Althought I thanked Avis a moment ago I also want her to expose her too in this scam, WILLE LYNCH is still alive because of weak sorry BLACK people like her and HIGGENBOTTAM, who WORSHIP the DEVIS GOLD. Daley will always have a need for "SELL OUT BLACKS". When you look at this list it is very easy to see that SELL OUT'S with corrupted money are being instructed by daley to contribute to Dorthy so she can run in 2011. AMERICA IS NOW WATCHING CHICAGO'S GANGLAND POLITRICKS and Mr.Obama can not IGNORE one of the GREATEST THREATS TO DEMOCRACY THAT EXISTS TODAY, THE DALEY MACHINE. STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE, LEARN AND UNDERSTAND THE POLITRICKS OF OUR SAD CITY. Oct. 2, 2009 the GAMES ARE OVER AND THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE IN CHICAGO WILL REIGN DOWN OVER EVERYONE!!!! PS ALL MOTHERS WATCH YOUR CHILDREN EXTRA CAREFULLY THIS SUMMER, ITS GOING TO BE VERY UGLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS IN TH HISTORY OF THIS CITY APPLIED FOR RETIREMENT. CAMERA'S CAN'T SAVE OUR CHILDREN, DUMPING DALEY CAN.
Cokes pattern of wins Manny Flores,Scott Waguespacks,Dan Kotowski, Peter Silvestri, Frank Avila,Anita Alvarez,Park Ridge,Niles...and others. The sad part is the ones that win, won't help him out of fear for Daley, the ones that lose blame him. Cokes knew what Dorothy Brown was, put in by Terry Peterson for Daley, but in Daley vs Brown race , who was Cokes going to help? Also Brown will be used again in the Cook County Board Race, to hurt Prickwinkle, so Claypool wins this time.
