CEI Expert Warns Against Central Planning In Testimony Against Cap and Trade

Myron Ebell, director of Energy and Global Warming Policy, at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), cautioned against embracing “cap and trade” policies that have not worked as advertised in the European Union in testimony earlier this week before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Ebell also said the “Waxman-Markey” bill would open the way to even greater government intrusion into the economy at the expense of the private sector and consumers.
“Cap-and-trade has been widely sold as a market-based approach to reducing emissions, he argued. “This is terribly misleading. Cap-and-trade subordinates markets to central planning. It takes the most important economic decisions out of the hands of private individuals acting in the market and puts them in the hands of government. The record of central planning in the twentieth century has not been judged a success, and most centrally-planned economies collapsed towards the end of the last century. Perhaps the advocates of cap-and-trade can find some glimmer of hope in the persistence of Cuba and North Korea, which are both models of economies that have commendably low, indeed negligible, greenhouse gas emissions.”

Fuzzy Math

It's just another inconvenient truth: If Americans want any of the government remedies that would supposedly save a planet allegedly imperiled by global warming, it's going to cost them.
