@billgoats WE SHOULD! We should talk about amazing policy wins. The trading program essentially ended acid rain, and shows the potential for carbon and global climate change. The CO2 market proposal made it into the Dem Platform in 2000.
We do not have to accept global catastrophe as acid rain and the hole in ozone illustrate.
Thank you.
Here is a nice paper to share imho

The U.S. Sulphur Dioxide Cap and Trade Programme and Lessons for Climate Policy
The sulphur dioxide (SO2) allowance-trading programme established under Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) was the world’s first large-scale pollutant cap-and-trade system. ('Allowance trading' and 'cap-and-trade' are synonymous.) The stated purpose of the Acid Rain Program was to reduce total annual SO2 emissions in the US by ten million tons relative to 1980, when total US emissions were about 26 million tons. In a departure from conventional environmental regulation, the legislation did not prescribe how power plants would reduce their SO2 emissions.
