 Issues, Options and Implementation
Resources for the Future
1616 P St. NW
Washington, DC 20036
One of the most controversial issues in the debate over the design of a U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) trading program is how such a program will address concerns about potential costs and adverse impacts on the economy.
 A variety of proposals have emerged, including an explicit upper limit on allowances prices (in S.1766, the Low Carbon Economy Act) and an independent board to manage the emissions budget over
time, in order to contain costs (in S.2191, the Climate Security Act).
