Survey Results: Total Participants: 51
Question 1:
To meet its GHG obligations California may adopt a command and control program or a cap and trade program. Under a command a control program the state will mandate exactly who has to reduce emissions and how the reductions are to be acheived. Under a cap and trade program GHG sources will likely be provided an allocation, and a reduction schedule. Both types of programs will include reporting, monitoring, and enforcement provisions. Both can be designed to accomplish the GHG objective. What type of program should be implemented in California?
