I really don't feel that I can comment intelligently.

My assessment of the situation is that both carbon taxes and cap-and-trade are attempts to internalize the externalities of emissions so either is better than neither. This is not an intelligent assessment, however, and the product of a sketchy understanding of the realities on the ground at best.

I know that market forces will act quicker when there is money to be made.
