Emissions Trading: Hype or Harbinger?
Denny Ellerman
Fri Feb 1, 02-03:30pm, E51-376

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up

Emissions trading has gone from being a pariah among policy-makers to being a star...everyone's favorite way to deal with pollution problems. This session will provide an explanation of emissions trading, a taxonomy of the types of emissions trading now being considered, and an assessment of the experience with emissions trading, mostly in the United States. The aim of the session is to provide attendees with an ability to distinguish the hype from the harbingers of the future for environmental regulation.
