discussed.
It was suggested that nearby
colleges, such as Tarleton

a used system they would
sell due to recent economic
cutbacks.
Other future budget items
to be addressed included re-

'out the door”
The U.S. House of Repre-
sentatives narrowly passed
a massive cap-and-trade bill
several years ago about the
same time that 10 states in
the northeast U.S. enacted
the Regional Greenhouse
Gas Initiative (also known as
“Reggie”), the nation’s first
mandatory cap-and-trade
program for greenhouse
(GHG) emissions.
Even though the U.S. Sen-
ate couldn’t muster enough
votes to get the federal ]
gram across the goal line,
RGGI has been active for two
years and already one state,
New Jersey, has left the pro-
gram.
New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie pointed out
that RGGI was ineffective
in reducing GHG emissions,
and it was costing New Jer-
sey economic activity, jobs
and money. The Wall Street
Journal reported recently that
RGGI has cost New Jersey
$100 million.
A recent study by the Con-
gressional Research Service
of RGGI finds that the states
have conducted 11 auctions
of emission allowances that
have generated $860 million.
However, the report notes
that the demand for emis-
sion allowances has declined
in recent auctions which has
resulted in a decline in price.
Only 57 percent of the al-
lowances were purchased in
the last auction in December
2010.
The RGGI program, like the
federal program that passed
the House, creates a trading
system for carbon emissions
generated by utilities using
fossil fuels. The government
requires electric power plants
with
megawatts or more - which
includes about 200 plants
in Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire, New
York, Rhode Island and Ver-
mont - to purchase emission
allowances at auctions con-
ducted by individual states.
In effect, consumers of elec-
tricity from these plants will
have to pay more for their
electricity.
Because the program’s
emission cap exceeds actual
emissions, the cap has not
compelled regulated enti-
ties to make internal emis-
sion reductions or purchase
emission credits from other
sources. The designers of the
RGGI also did not take into
consideration that utilities
would purchase electricity
from states that are not regu-
lated by RGGI and, therefore,
less expensive.
Additionally, the RGGI pro-
gram has had a “negligible”

have allocated funds from
RGGI to increase revenues to
their budgets.
In summary, RGGI has in-
creased the cost of electric-
ity generation on 10 states
and taken $860 million out
of the pockets of consumers,
created a new bureaucracy
to oversee RGGI at a cost of
$43 million, and it had a neg-
ligible impact on reducing
