A second benefit is the money it raises to invest in other projects that will reduce emissions.

I will believe that, when I see windmills on Cape Cod.

***New Jersey raised more than $15 million from power companies and other bidders this week..blah blah blah.***

The power companies paid nothing. These millions will be paid by elderly people on social Security and others who use the electricity.

The auction is part of the first market-based cap and trade program in the nation to make polluters pay for the right to emit carbon dioxide and ultimately lower emission amounts.

Sounds to me like these Commie pigs just called Americans who use electricity a bunch of "polluters" since THEY, not the electricity producers, are the ones who are going to pay out this money to make people like Algore and his envirogangsters rich. How do you like the "new direction" America so far?

Note to the Power Companies:

Tell the politicians they have 2 weeks to repeal that law. Then, after that, the power plants will shut down, and stay down, until the law is changed !!!!

I haven’t a clue anymore. I just can’t fathom a molecule that is the building block of (and necessity for) life is becoming a regulated commodity.

I’m thankful I’m not the one with the heavy responsibility for making laws and regulations. Takes a heavy weight off my shoulders. *phew*

What’s the big deal? The people of NJ will just pay for it. They elected the people who put these regulations in place, they can pay for it in higher utility bills.

The best part of it is that ALL of the people in NJ will have to pay for it. No “targeted tax breaks” here. They’ll pay for it in higher utility rates, as well as higher prices for everything produced or purchased in NJ.

The power companies are all for it. They get to charge more for their product. Then they get the government to give them allownces and breaks. All the extra money they get to charge is profit.

A scam.

So now the money that would have been used for capital projects within the power company is given to the state?

What a scam.
