The Environmental Protection Agency today proposed a rule that would require a broad range of industries to tally and report their greenhouse gas emissions.
The move was hailed by environmentalists as an important precursor to regulating greenhouse gas emissions, as the Obama administration is expected to do.
“This is the foundation of any serious program to cap and reduce global warming pollution,” said David Doniger, the policy director for the climate center at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “You have to have source-by-source data on how much of global warming pollution is emitted and from where.”

Should industries be forced to report to the government regarding their greenhouse gas output?

Hopefully this will be treated with sanity. There are ways to solve these problems without taxes and fines. The EPA should work with companies to correct these problems with natural methods, public awareness, etc.

Reporting on a yearly bases seems rather lacking. It should be monitored around the clock and reported on at least a monthly bases. How else can a "carbon tax" be implemented if the carbon isn't monitored closely.
