Graphing the Difference: U.S. Cap and Trade Proposals


How federal US climate policies stack up.

by Eric de Place

Finally, it's all in one place. World Resources Institute just released a fabulous little summary that compares all the federal US cap and trade proposals. It's chock full of helpful (if slightly wonkish) graphics and tables, like this one:

The summary deals only with questions of "scope" -- which sectors of the economy are capped -- and the reduction schedules in each policy. There's no comparison of auctioning regimes or offsets or other market features. Still, it's pretty handy.
