Another triumph for the free market.
It has assigned the appropriate price for an artificial, government created “right”, that is, 0!!!!!
sorry computer glitch:
I am actually surprised these folk actually thought the state would earn billions of dollars on this – which is the real reason for the program.
Unfortunately the big users of energy have all had time to leave the state. Boeing, as an example, pretty much shut down their Long Beach manufacturing over a three year period when they found out about Cap and Trade.
The Utilities don’t have to pay either, because they are forced to purchase alternate energy at outrageous prices, and are not allowed to purchase coal based energy as well, and then sell it back to us at equally outrageous prices – then the politicians who set up this environment blame the energy companies. CA energy is now (and it varies by where you live, based on temperature data) is now about 18 cents per kwh for the first 400 kilowatts, and 26 cents for the rest – and note this is last years rates. The rates are going to go up significantly this year. A typical home uses about 900 kwh per month.
I am actually surprised these folks
The only way to get folks to spend their hard earned money on a bad idea is to make it a tax!
Awwwwwww…………….not even any paid pretenders?
