Comment:
Sirs, I understand that you intend to let market place economies reduce the cost of reducing carbon emissions by allowing emitters to trade surplus credits to those who need more credits in order to maintain their business. Will there be any provision by which an idividual who pays for credits (by purchasing taxed, carbon based energy, be it electricity or fuel) can save/reduce carbon emission & thereby have reduced carbon emission & have a means of selling his reduced emission to a company that needs them, as above? Is there a way that a creative aftermarket company can sell a product that reduces carbon emission - and that company can generate credits that can be sold to those who need them? I noticed that Tesla Motors sold its credits for electric car production to Honda Motor Company. Will there be a similar means by which other innovators can profit from working on "green" projects - to then be able to sell those credits, as a means to futher develop new innovations? Thank you, Monty
