Following up on the last post, this video (made by Clean Energy Works) does a very nice job summing up the supporter’s view of cap-and-trade. It all sounds so dreamy.
The Facts of Cap-and-Trade from Clean Energy Works on Vimeo.
And really this is how cap-and-trade should go down. It limits emissions, but it does so over the course of time to allow the economy to adapt. The parts of China and India following suit…that sort of hints at why opponents are so worked up about the idea of capping our carbon. The fear is that we will be at a severe economic disadvantage if we start capping our emissions before anyone else. However, if we don’t start capping our emissions, then it might not matter who has the best economy.
Now, the second video is a mind-bending, gut-punching, propaganda-esque piece about the Story of Cap-and-Trade. This is brought to you by Annie Leonard (acclaimed creator of the Story of Stuff). She comes down hard on cap-and-trade, and offers a very vague notion of emission reductions being pursued through a combination of command-and-control regulation (EPA) and carbon tax. Overall, I feel that this video is bordering on fear-mongering (although in a very cute way) and not truly informative.
