Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

MARCH 6, 2010

This article shows that including offsets in climate change legislation would likely make an emissions program more cost-effective by: (a) providing an incentive for non-regulated sources to generate emission reductions; and (b) expanding emission compliance opportunities for regulated entities. 2) Examples of Renewable Energy Projects.

I said I would consider it, but that I was really hoping to establish a precedent, legally speaking, beyond Torrance. Or whatever it costs. And by that do you mean they were fronting the costs of the rebates and then not recouping them from the utilities? THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL.

It’s fairly well known by now that EVs cost far less per mile to drive than their closest ICE counterparts, and the main reason is simply that the EV drivetrain is far more efficient at converting its stored form of energy into motion. First, in the interest of clarity, let’s define some terms that we’ll use in this article.
