Cap and trade fights air pollution by setting a limit (cap) on total greenhouse gas emissions for specific industries. Companies are allocated or can purchase emissions allowances, which they can trade among themselves. This creates a financial incentive to reduce emissions; companies that lower their pollution can sell their excess allowances to those that need more. Over time, the cap is gradually lowered, leading to overall reductions in air pollutants and encouraging investments in cleaner technologies.

Why is cap and trade being proposed?
The goal behind cap and trade is to hold companies and industries that produce disproportional amounts of pollution responsible. The idea behind cap and trade is that companies that produce large amounts of pollution must either curb their emmissions or invest in a "Eco-friendly" business or industry, to offset the pollution they are creating. So cap and trade aims to equal out the amount of pollution a dirty industry (like coal) produces with environmentally-sound industries (like wind power), and halt the emission of Carbon dioxide into our atmosphere from human productions.
What is cap-n-trade?
A Cap and Trade is a system to regulate overall pollution in a nation. First, a government designates how much pollution total can be allowed (a cap). The government then designates companies credits, or how much pollution they are allowed to emit. This is usually determined by the size, impact, and specific industry of the company. If the company doesn't pollute as much, they have extra credits, which can be traded (sold) to other corporations.
In economyChapter market in action Explain two market mechanisms that are used for controlling pollutions as an externality?
Two market mechanisms used for controlling pollution as an externality are cap-and-trade systems and pollution taxes. Cap-and-trade involves setting a maximum allowable level of pollution, distributing emissions permits to firms, and allowing them to trade these permits in a market, incentivizing reductions in emissions. Pollution taxes impose a fee on emissions, encouraging firms to reduce their pollution output to minimize costs. Both mechanisms utilize market forces to internalize the environmental costs of pollution, promoting more sustainable practices.
What are the benefits of cap and trade in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices?
Cap and trade systems can help reduce carbon emissions by setting limits on pollution and allowing companies to trade permits. This encourages businesses to find innovative ways to reduce their emissions and promotes sustainable practices. By creating a financial incentive to cut emissions, cap and trade can drive investment in clean technologies and help combat climate change.
What was used before PCV valves?
Vehicles used a "road draft tube" or a " breather cap" which is a fancy way of saying they just belched the pollution into the air on the side of the engine. Mark
How does cap and trade effect people?
Cap and trade affects people by establishing a system where companies are limited in their greenhouse gas emissions, which can lead to improved air quality and public health benefits. As firms buy and sell emission allowances, the cost of pollution is internalized, potentially raising prices for consumers. However, revenue generated from the sale of allowances can be used for environmental initiatives, renewable energy projects, or to offset costs for low-income households. Overall, it aims to create a financial incentive for reducing emissions while balancing economic impacts on individuals and communities.
