Pennsylvania joins Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative with goal of cutting emissions

Pennsylvania just joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program which establishes an annual compact-wide carbon emissions cap that gets lower every year. The initiative also requires power plants with a capacity of 25 megawatts or greater to have a permit for each individual ton of carbon dioxide they emit. States auction these permits off from their own allowances four times per year. These permits can then be resold.
