It is an excuse to place trade barriers and tariffs on imports from other countries by calling their products environmentally "dirty". China and India will have no choice but to join the Cap&Trade scheme because if they don’t they won’t be allowed to play in our sandbox. Even if the USA does not pass the Cap&Trade bill in the Senate, China and India will still be forced to do so because the EU has C&T, and the Euros will hit them with carbon tariffs. Eventually all trading nations, including the USA will be forced to adopt Cap&Trade whether they want it or not. So we either do it now under the false pretext of saving the planet, or we do it later under the truth of simply dodging trade barriers. Either way, China, India and the USA will have Cap&Trade. And that is my arrogant opinion. Cap and Trade is another form of trade protectionism.
