California raised more than $800 million from selling permits to release greenhouse gases in the latest quarterly auction.
Auction results released Wednesday show all available permits were sold through Californias cap-and-trade program. The program requires polluters to obtain permits for each ton of carbon they release.

Yea, It will go somewhere. The Concentration Camps haven’t been built yet.
Or the ovens.
Somebody's gotta' pay for all the FREE S**T the state hands out to illegals!
Reminds me of Catholic “indulgences”.
I have some discount carbon credits that I can let go for a good price. Call if you would like to purchase. Bulk quantities are priced to sell. Come on down to R-R Discount Carbon Credits. He is craazzy to sell this low!!
Nope.
How much commission will Algore get
That is exactly what it is.
There is no Luther in California.
so much for cap and trade!
21 Nov: Mercury News editorial: Editorial: California bullet train built on foundation of deceit
Now a long-awaited state audit released last week finds that poor management has contributed to construction delays and billions of dollars of cost overruns. And inadequate contract controls left the auditor unable to determine whether the state received the quantity and quality of work it has paid for thus far.
Its time to end this fiasco to stop throwing good money after bad.
Its an embarrassment to the state. To Gov. Jerry Brown, who has blindly pushed the project ever since he took office in 2011...
Californias high-speed rail project has been built so far on a foundation of deceit.
A decade ago, voters were promised a system from San Diego to San Francisco and Sacramento at a cost of $45 billion. Today, the cost estimate is $77 billion just to link San Francisco to Anaheim.
And, after 10 years of work, the High-Speed Rail Authority has only managed to secure $12.7 billion, enough for links between Bakersfield and Madera, and from Gilroy to San Francisco. It doesnt even have the money for tunneling needed to connect those two legs.
So much for a statewide system.
Worse, according to state Auditor Elaine Howle, theres a high likelihood of additional cost increases. In other words, the constantly rising price is almost certain to go up more...
Lets stop this waste of scarce public money now.

Think of them as indulgences for sins.
Cow farts are a major problem, Farmers should really pay up for those. (sarc)
It’s just a fake “environmental shell game” where there is nothing under the shell.
Why doesn’t the President issue an emergency order declaring California a national insane asylum and close their borders to the world?
It would take decades to figure out all the mental illnesses that state has in it but meanwhile it would keep psychos like Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Moonbeam, Frankenfeinstein, Schiff for brains, Swallowswell, and others safely locked away from other humans.
Let the conservatives move to the southern part of the state so that they can be screened, cleared, and made part of a new state, South California. All libs, leftists, Marxists, Democrats, Irredentists, BLM folks, and druggies would be forced to move north into North California.
No one from NC would ever be allowed to move into the southern part of the state or another state. Think of it as “No Escape from LA” on steroids.
In know that this is an extreme idea but then again, California is an “extreme” state and a danger to sane people, the Constitution, and America.
It is a cancer that must be stopped, treated, and destroyed.
So what are they going to use the money for? More social programs?
You can volunteer to purchase authority to exist for $100, a smile on your face is a requirement, or you will be taxed $200.
Or the ovens.
++++++++++++++++++
Would the state have to purchase carbon credits for the ovens?
To the dems, everything is for sale - even Mother Earth if the money goes to Dem coffers....
And whos pocket does it go into ???
Maybe the highways they taxed for but never repaired might actually get fixed ?
How about all the other infrastructure.
I wouldnt count on the money NOT being squandered on useless leftist projects and pet schemes of the politicos
