The Secretary for Environmental Protection in California created the Market Advisory Committee, a committee of national and international experts, to develop recommendations for designing a market-based program for reducing California’s GHG emissions. In early June the committee released a draft report laying out recommendations for designing the CA GHG cap and trade program
INGAA filed comments to the draft on June 15th, which included an option for interstate pipeline to be the point of regulations. As with its comments on similar federal proposals, INGAA’s comments strongly oppose this option and systematically point out the administrative and commercial pitfalls of such an approach.
