It’s legal — and it’s also actually one of the “least bad” forms of regulation. At least, the factory gets built in the end. It’s not a “good” regulation, just less bad than most of the alternatives.

The same thing seems to work for cities’ “tree banks” for developers.

Graft for all!

I have some property I would LEASE as wetlands for say 99 years with terms. Any takers? I’d even make them improved wetlands with a conservation easement.

I’m ready to get in on some of these scams.

The U.S. taxpayer didn’t bail out the auto industry. Obama bailed out the UAW.

Or is it the sale of carbon indulgences?

Ah, yes, the #FakeScience of CO2 pollution. The one thing that cars emit that harms nothing.

For years, Tesla Inc. has hauled in revenue by selling credits to other carmakers that needed to offset sales of polluting vehicles to U.S. consumers.

Until Ronald Reagan changed the tax code and lowered the tax rate from 78 to 28%, you could buy and sell federal tax credits.

I was in the tax leveraged lease business, and if a company was losing money but needed equipment, applying tax credits could reduce a monthly rate by as much as 20-27% with the tax benefits going to a third party that needed tax write offs.

As the leasing agent, we took ours, up front, and at the back end when we took ownership of the product.

The point is, selling fed credits is nothing new, nor is it illegal.

The same principle applies to carbon credits used for the global warming scam.

I think it all has to do with how the EPA defines “wetlands”. It could be just some big field with a creek running through it.
