Cap and trade is a license to cheat and steal
By: William O’Keefe
Special to The Examiner
May 19, 2009
One of James Bond’s first movies captured attention with the title “License to Kill.” Today, Washington, D.C., is setting the stage to compete with Hollywood in the sensational headlines market. Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are in the process of scripting climate change legislation worthy of being titled “License to Cheat and Steal.”
This cap-and-trade bill — actually called the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, or the Waxman-Markey bill — would mandate severe reductions in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Since emissions are mostly generated by energy use (heating your home, cooling your groceries, driving to work, etc.), these targets would effectively mandate energy rationing. Since these targets are not based on economic or technological realities, there can only be one outcome: much higher energy prices.
Severe limitations on emissions could easily turn well-intentioned policy into an opportunity for shady moneymaking schemes at the expense of the environment and American households.
Research indicates that implementation of a U.S. emissions market could drive up energy costs for Americans anywhere from $324 to a whopping $3,100 per year. And because low-income families spend a greater percentage of their earnings on energy, this burden would fall heaviest on those least able to afford it.
In contrast, the financial benefits would be enjoyed by Wall Street opportunists and special-interest groups. The government-regulated trade of carbon dioxide opens the door to the creation of risky financial tools like the derivatives, hedges and credit default swaps that led to our recent economic crisis and the scandals associated with it.
Anyone who doubts this risk need only look at the experience of Europe’s cap-and-trade system. Not only has it been plagued with fraud and abuse, it failed to meet its emissions-reduction targets.
The complex and cumbersome nature of the trading system makes effective oversight by both voters and regulators a daunting challenge, opening the way to influence by special interests. Media reports show that bureaucrats have allowed a major utility to write a provision for the Waxman-Markey bill, which favored a handful of companies and disadvantaged their competitors. This opportunity for manipulation skews incentives. Instead of encouraging R&D in cleaner electricity, cap and trade gives utilities a strong incentive to invest a lot of money in lobbying efforts.
As the European trading system demonstrates, this policy creates a legal gray area, equipping future Enrons and Bernie Madoffs with a license to cheat and steal.
The draft Waxman-Markey bill touted on Capitol Hill includes a provision that allows covered companies to buy emissions offsets or emissions allowances rather than reduce their actual emissions. (This is the modern-day equivalent of purchasing indulgences from the Church that allow you to buy off your sins.)
But the legitimacy of these offsets has proven difficult to verify. Europe has already witnessed companies paying themselves for offsets and firms building plants for the sole purpose of receiving tax dollars to shut them down.
The closed-door deals already being made in Washington, D.C., indicate that a U.S. system would likely suffer from the same manipulation. And once the trading begins, there will be a need for a futures market, mechanisms to hedge risks and financial instruments like credit default swaps.
With permits worth in excess of $100 billion, traders will gain handsomely and have an incentive to create mechanisms for additional financial gain, setting the stage for a repeat of the financial abuses America witnessed in the subprime crisis.
The burden all of this potential financial manipulation would be borne by Main Street, the very consumers, workers and families still reeling from the housing market fallout.
Rather than continuing to push cap and trade — a policy that one of the nation’s leading economists, Yale University’s William Nordhaus, predicts would lead to “pandemic cheating” — Congress should adopt a simple, transparent and effective approach to addressing climate change.
By implementing a straightforward policy, lawmakers could best serve the interests of citizens, businesses and the environment, while the James Bond fictional excesses stay where they belong — back in Hollywood.
William O’Keefe, CEO of the George C. Marshall Institute, is president of Solutions Consulting Inc.

People will always fake and impersonate other famous people. There will always be gossip and rumors but should we force everybody to verify their sources all the time?

Feeding garbage parameters into a computer model yields nonsensical results. Creating false problems and giving Congress a mandate to solve them creates nonsense in a similar manner. It is time to note that warming, due to whatever reasons, has certainly given us no reason to be alarmed for 10 years. It has simply stopped dead in its tracks without any help from Congress, despite continued rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

Great article. Both bills are a giant power grab and redistributive change that will fundamentally transform America. You can endlessly mull over the details of these unconstitutional bills, while you ignore the overall agenda. Confusing us with thousands of pages of rubbish is a great distraction, slight of hand. You are getting what you voted for. Remember this when voting, if elections are not outlawed by 2010 or 2012. Maybe if we bury our heads back in the sand, then things will be better?

These companies are not doing so because of their fear of global warming. They are doing so because of the profit incentive this proposed legislation offers them. Companies act in their own self interest, not the planet's, not the consumers , its the ones suffering with highElectricity Bills that will be effected. In the case of the consumer, these companies are advocating legislation that will rip some $2 trillion out of the consumers' pockets, based on latest White House estimates. That's $2 trillion that consumers won't be able to use to buy these companies services and products, yet these companies are the Cap&Trade cheerleaders

As the thesis that man-made CO2 andGas emissions produces global warming catastrophes is not provable given that there is no precedent, it is hardly surprising that the response in Congress to this problem is getting more and more to defend small interests. A better computer model is required I believe anyway.

Cap and trade bill is nothing but a license to cheat and steal for the Bilderbergers, create food riots, start up civil war in the U.S, and helps the Rothschild controlled banks that were used during racist, and other wars since the enslavement of Africa to the world wars, to even the cold war.

It is a bitter truth that sometimes, there is a conflict in interests between the environment and citizens. And for that, measures are taken that might not seem very justified, but are taken in the best interest of humanity. This is the reason why there are people we choose to take the decisions, because they are capable of choosing the right thing over the wrong thing. I think a rise in fuel prices is the best solution that fits the current situation overall.

Research indicates that implementation of a U.S. emissions market could drive up energy costs for Americans anywhere from $324 to a whopping $3,100 per year. And because low-income families spend a greater percentage of their earnings on energy, this burden would fall heaviest on those least able to afford it.

This is still all over CNN. It think its totally stupid. There is no global warming. I am curious as where you got your statistic that poor family spend more on energy then well to do families. Would seem the other way around. Either way I am with you.

Cap N Trade is going to be the con of our generation, it isn't the answer to combatting global warming at all. It's very sad, a lot of people who trade these carbon credits are getting wealthy off of a supposedly green scheme, the only thing green is the color of the money!weighing scales
The only thing green about Cap N Trade is the money that is flowing into the pockets of greedy peopleweighing scales
Cap and trade would as a solution to reduce greenhouse gases would not suffice. People will just think of ways on how to circumvent the law especially big companies.

This cap-and-trade bill — actually called the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, or the Waxman-Markey bill — would mandate severe reductions in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

The cap and trade bill leaves the doors open for too many shady ongoings and back-door deals.
