The political right sometimes decries the system as a hidden, unnecessary tax

Let's see. New Jersey buys carbon credits from New Hampshire. This raises the cost of energy production in New Jersey. New Jersey utilities raise prices to compensate. New Jersey energies transfer their wealth to the state of New Hampshire for nothing. No, it's not just a hidden tax, but taxation without representation, because the people taxed in New Jersey cannot vote in New Hampshire.

Why not? People from Massachusetts do all the time.
