Your Chevrolet New Jersey dealer is concerned and dedicated to helping the environment. That’s why we applaud the actions of the state’s officials and energy companies to slow down and even eliminate carbon dioxide pollution.
The newest attempt to accomplish this goal was the nation’s “second Internet auction that will charge power plants money to compensate” for the pollution they create. The RGGI, or Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, organized the auction which included 10 northeastern states that have promised to reduce their emissions by at least 10 percent in the next 10 years. (All those 10s do not have any significance in the plan, it just turned out that way.)
The auction occurred yesterday and it sold more than 30 million carbon dioxide allowances. Bidders included Conectiv Energy and other plants in and around New Jersey. The proceeds will be divided between each state’s Economic Development Authority, the DEP and the Board of Public Utilities.
