MasterResource Turns 17

We are just getting started here, but some of us veterans of the energy debate from a private property, free-market perspective have teamed together to offer our thoughts on late breaking energy items. When I read my newspapers each day, I have some thoughts that I wish I could share with folks from a historical, worldview perspective. I think we all have something to add�and thus the inspiration for this endeavor.Re Posted From: MasterResource Turns 17Watts Up With That . . . [More]

RGGI Investment Proceed Performance in New York

The observed reductions to date have not been the result of RGGI.  The effectiveness of auction proceed investments is poor and there is no reason to expect that will change enough to provide sufficient future emission reduction targets achievable.
