Washington introduces ‘cap-and-invest’ program to charge companies for CO2 emissions

“A cap-and-trade program is a way of giving everyone incentive to take the damage of CO2 into account,” said Bill Shobe, a professor of public policy at the University of Virginia. “We take the money that we earn from protecting the atmosphere and plow it right back into the economy.”

Cap-and-trade programs have been touted for decades as an effective way to reduce emissions. The Bushwas the first to implement a cap-and-trade program on a large scale, with the “Clear Skies Initiative” aimed at reducing sulfur dioxide pollution, which causes acid rain. Programs similar to this one were viewed as bipartisan until the Obama administration sought to curb carbon emissions.

The Washington legislation stipulates that 35% of the proceeds will be reinvested into communities disproportionately impacted by pollution and an additional 10% will be funneled to back tribal-supported projects.

So the intent is to pay back nature with emissions fine money for damage done? It just may be cost effective for a company to pollute. This is a means to a not well thought out end!
