Discussion:
CAP AND TRADE?

I really dont understand what it is all and how it relates to this industry, can someone fill me in?

My customer has 8 electrics he wants to replace w/ 8 LPG clean running new machines, is there a carbon foot print he will be resposible for?

Are there any issues that may be problematic w/ legislation down the road?

Has California instituted any legislation?

This ia a New York based company, just wondering.

But what about the carbon footprint on LPG trucks? Do companies get penilized for running gas machines?

From what I understand of this cap and trade law. I read an article where company's will be allotted so much power they can use on the meter. Once they hit that amount of usage the power will either be shut off or they can trade with someone else for their shares making it a valuable asset this permission slips for x amount of electricity.

So to me it will be a bidders market for any additional power required. It actually sounds pretty pro active if they want to start reducing their electric usage now. Our industry has been promoting electric and many have converted from LP to electric already.

So there could possibly be a bunch of electric trade ins with lower values if the cap and trade law goes into effect.
