The Reagan Revolution and Its Discontents
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 8.26.2009

Goals of bill to reduce carbon dioxide emissions impractical
Submitted on 8.16.2009
The primary goal of cap-and-trade legislation is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It’s really that simple. But, as someone once said, the devil is in the details. And, that saying holds true for cap and trade, too.
