@tylopoda If you want that dearth of infrastructure to change, simply have NY state lawmakers set up cap and trade legislation, such as California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The value of legislated #carboncredits make every #EVcharging station highly profitable. #capandtrade

My cousin is doing great pie-based work encouraging Canadians to provide feedback on the latest cap and trade scheme.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM6swNQbW/There’s a toolkit at ClimateMessengers.ca that will help you write an email. In short: there are too many exceptions and loopholes to the emissions cap, but there is still six days to urge the feds to eliminate them.

The US Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 launched a sulfur dioxide allowance trading program:
"Emissions reductions occurred more quickly than expected, because utilities banked allowances for future use. With a $2,000/ton statutory penalty for emissions exceeding allowance holdings (and continuous #emissions monitoring), compliance was nearly 100%"

New Study: #FossilFuels Disproportionately Impact #Black, #Brown, #Indigenous, and #Poor Communities Throughout The Supply Chain
#CarbonOffsets, #CapAndTrade, #CCS and Other “#CarbonCentric” Policies Fail to Mitigate Air and Water #Pollution
by Tyler Kruse
June 5, 2023"The study concludes that policies solely focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions without reducing fossil fuel usage could fail to reduce local air and water pollution, fail to alleviate public health harms, and end up perpetuating the racially inequitable impacts of the fossil fuel economy.
WASHINGTON DC (June 5, 2023)–"A new peer-reviewed study details the risks of President Biden’s support for expanded fossil fuel production and exports. Despite campaign promises to take on fossil fuels, Biden has approved massive extraction projects and allowed a surge of crude and LNG exports. Against the backdrop of attacks on environmental justice in Congress – including the recent rollbacks to NEPA in the Fiscal Responsibility Act – and the Supreme Court’s undercutting of the Clean Water Act, the study titled 'Fossil fuel racism in the United States: How phasing out coal, oil, and gas can protect communities' finds that fossil fuels impose unfair and unjust health harms on Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor communities.
"The study identifies the public health harms as well as the disproportionate impacts on communities at each stage of the #coal, #oil, and #gas lifecycles – #extraction, processing, transport, and combustion. It was authored by experts from Greenpeace USA, Salem State University, and Taproot Earth and published in Energy Research & Social Science.
"The publication draws from 200+ academic studies which reveal a consistent pattern: fossil fuel pollution is associated with #asthma, birth complications, #cancer, #respiratory disease, heart conditions, and premature mortality. Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor communities bear a disproportionate burden of these harms. These same communities are hit hardest by the impacts of the climate crisis.
"Additionally, the study concludes that policies solely focused on reducing #GreenhouseGas emissions without reducing fossil fuel usage could fail to reduce local air and water pollution, fail to alleviate public health harms, and end up perpetuating the racially inequitable impacts of the fossil fuel economy. Black, Asian, Hispanic or Latino, and low-income populations already have an elevated burden of exposure to air pollutants that can harm the respiratory system known as PM2.5, a pattern that is consistent across nearly all emission source types. Poorly designed climate policies could concentrate this pollution in community 'hotspots' even as overall carbon emissions decline.
"Dr. Tim Donaghy, research manager at Greenpeace USA and a co-author of the report, said: 'Fossil fuels harm both the climate and our health and must be phased out as fast as possible. But if our climate policies only focus on reducing carbon, we are missing an opportunity to greatly improve health in impacted communities. Carbon-centric policies being pushed by the oil and gas industry won’t alleviate fossil fuel racism and could worsen it for communities who already bear the brunt of the industry’s pollution. A better approach is to shift the focus to the root cause of both carbon and pollution, which are fossil fuels themselves. Policymakers should explicitly mitigate air and water pollution, advance #EnvironmentalJustice, and meaningfully include historically targeted communities in climate policy-making and implementation.”
"Noel Healy, professor of Geography and Sustainability at Salem State University and co-author of the report, said: 'Alarmingly, Biden is approving new #drilling at a faster rate than the Trump administration. This includes approving '#CarbonBombs' at the #AlaskaWillow and the #LNGAlaskaProject, and recently breaking a major G7 climate promise by financing an #Indonesian #OilRefinery. Continued approval of harmful and #Extractive fossil fuel licenses is a catastrophic climate and public health failure.'
"The study argues that #SystemicRacism enables the fossil fuel industry to avoid paying the true cost of its pollution by passing it on to communities of color. It identifies fossil fuel racism as a subset of environmental racism characterized by the disproportionate and racialized effects of climate change, fossil fuel extraction, transportation, processing, and consumption on Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor populations.
"The fossil fuel industry is fueling a public health crisis that disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income communities. Healy said: 'We can tackle the #ClimateCrisis, improve public health, and confront systemic racism by phasing out fossil fuels and enacting a #GreenNewDeal.'
"The study makes the following recommendations:
- The U.S. should implement a managed phase out of fossil fuel production to drive absolute pollution reductions in ‘#SacrificeZones’ and to align our policy with 1.5°C pathways.
- Enact a Green New Deal to halt climate change and build a more just and regenerative economy.
- Protect and expand democratic spaces."#EnvironmentalRacism #BigOilAndGas #WaterIsLife #CorporateColonialism

Cap & trade was once seen as the Conservative market-based approach to dealing with carbon emissions.
As EnviroMin, John Baird (later Poilievre's PP4PM campaign co-chair) released an entire 2007 policy doc on it which they pledged to implement in the 2008 elxn.
The 2004 Conservative Party of Canada Platform states on page 34:
"Investigate a cap-and-trade system that will allow firms to generate credits by reducing smog-causing pollutants."

Corrupt #Republicans want to plant 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) trees—their answer to #climateChange, one which conveniently doesn't rely on cutting emissions or doing anything else that would inconvenience their corporate puppeteers.
Actual #scientists say that would hardly scratch the surface of the problem, even if it were done perfectly, which, of course, it won't be.
You guys want a trillion trees? Great. Attach it as an amendment to a #capAndTrade bill that slashes emissions and reduces America's dangerous dependence on #fossilFuels. After that you can plant as many trees as you'd like.
PS: Because the petatree plan will require enormous amounts of land, I recommend starting with space currently occupied by refineries and statues of Confederate soldiers.

How to Rapidly Reduce #FossilFuel Use
Hint: #rationing is a better approach than markets."The plan the #UK almost adopted more than a decade ago—Tradable Energy Quotas or TEQs—would make the economy exist within a #CarbonBudget, rather than the other way around.”
Back in 2010, the TEQs system was deemed “ahead of its time.”
