Across the country, policymakers at all levels of government are exploring initiatives to address climate change. New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act remains one of the most ambitious, with its requirement that “the statewide electrical demand system will be zero emissions” by 2040.
So how do we get to a zero-emission system? The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is working on a market enhancement that could not only help lead New York to success, but could also serve as a model for the nation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our proposal is to incorporate the social cost of carbon dioxide emissions into New York’s wholesale electricity markets, commonly referred to as carbon pricing.

Carbon pricing puts a price per ton on carbon dioxide emissions, which would be paid by carbon-emitting generators such as fossil-fuel-burning plants. The effect would promote clean energy generation and encourage dirtier generators to close or invest in more efficient technology and reduce their carbon output.
Here’s how it works:
The state sets the carbon price, a certain amount per ton of CO2 being emitted.
About half of the revenue goes to low-carbon or carbon-free resources like wind, solar and hydro.
The rest would be distributed back to consumers.

“Consumers”= Al Gore and other Deep State globalists.
Shhhhhhh...the Useful Idiots aren’t supposed to know this.
Use bicycle-powered home generators. Just have one family member generate electricity while the rest enjoy internet porn, endless gossiping on facebook, and whatsapping each other ad infinitum. It’ll reduce obesity and population, as the designating exercyclist finally goes postal and offs his family.
Partisan Media Shills at The Hill update.
I’m going to type this really slowly for those in Rio Linda:
Producing CO2 is not being dirty. CO2 is necessary for life, and we would be better served if our atmosphere’s CO2 percentage was four times what it is.
This stuff is completely baloney and nothing more than a cash grab.
Why doesn’t Noo Yawk just vote to leave the United States? Annex itself to Canada and be done with it.
The liberal “solution” to every problem: Mo’ gummint, mo’ regalayshun, mo’ money.
I’m buying a new woodstove without all the emissions crap
