WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative

WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative: "'a cooperative effort by Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.' Initiated in 2003 by New York governor George Pataki, RGGI combines the efforts of nine states (New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont), along with representatives from Eastern Canadian Provinces Secretariat and the Province of New Brunswick, to develop a regional cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. The program is set to be unveiled by April of 2005."
