Cap and Trade: Economic boom or apocalypse? Eco Art from Renewable Energy Quilt 2009
This is a block from the energy quilt. Each block of the Renewable Energy Quilt is a REC or renewable energy certificate. Each renewable energy certificate is associated with the reduction of carbon per Kilowatt of electricity generated by the renewable energy project when compared to electricity generated by coal. Renewable energy producers sell renewable energy certificates to people who pollute in order to finance renewable energy projects. In this way companies are charged per unit of electricity to reduce their carbon footprint by purchase of a carbon offset. When a company's emmissions are "capped" they are required to buy renewable energy certificates from a company that generates clean electricity. You can purchase renewable energy certificates to voluntarily offset your carbon footprint. Your purchase helps small producers of electricity create more clean energy projects, replacing coal fired production and reducing aggregate carbon emissions.
Cap and Trade democratizes energy and will lead to a new crop of environmental and social entrepreneurs as long as the fossil fuel lobbyists don't convince the people that it's the next form of corporate subversion.
