- US EPA: Tools of the Trade
(A guidebook for governments
considering cap and trade as a policy tool to control pollution. Cap and trade is the form of permit trading used in the
U.S. to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, which cause acid rain and
other environmental and public health problems. "Tools of the Trade"is
intended to be sufficiently generic to apply to various pollutants
and environmental concerns; however, it emphasizes cap and trade to control
emissions produced from large, stationary sources. The
publication was written by staff of the Clean Air Markets Division, the group
at EPA that operates cap and trade programs for sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxides.)
