A breakdown of the costs revealed that whereas carbon emission reduction policies contributed 16 % of the overall rise in prices, 84 % was due to VAT (an additional # 20), the price of gas (# 290) and the expenses involved in delivering it to homes.

Computer modeling of the NRDC plan, which used the same model used by the EPA, suggests that if the EPA does follow this approach, the US could see a 26 percent cut in power plant emissions — and an overall reduction in the US carbon footprint of 10 percent by 2020 — the largest share of achieving the 17 percent reduction the president has called for.

We conclude that this scenario offers three attractive characteristics: environmental security, because the global carbon budget is set at a level which keeps global warming below 2 degrees; economic efficiency, because carbon trading allows the reductions to be made for least overall cost; and global social justice, because emission rights are allocated equally to all people.
