- Abstract
The article discusses the decentralization of the cap-and-trade program for the economic efficiency of greenhouse emission reduction in the U.S. It explains that the implementation of the national cap-and-trade program is necessary for the reduction in greenhouse gases in the industrial and energy infrastructure in the country. It analyzes the pros and cons of pollution control laws with a federalist model in which the federal government and the state share power over the sources of emissions. It also presents arguments on the impact state autonomy over in-state sources on a federal cap-and-trade system. Particular focus is also given to the offset policy and the benefits of several potential forms on state control within a federal trading program.
