Let's be perfectly clear: the utilities calling for changes to Waxman-Markey support emissions reductions. The simple fact is that the switch to low- and zero-emission technologies won't happen overnight, and it won't be cheap. The problem is exacerbated by Waxman-Markey's allowance allocation formula, which rewards companies with fewer CO2 emissions and leaves more coal- dependent utilities with significant allowance shortfalls. Our aim is to prevent a double cost to our customers: the cost of allowances (which will do nothing to reduce emissions), and the cost of the new infrastructure, including the renewable energy needed to actually reduce emissions.
