At the risk of sounding like a policy wonk, this kind of action is exactly what carbon trading is supposed to incentivise. As more and more of these permits get canceled, it will be more expensive for the companies to keep polluting, than to invest in alternative efforts/energies. I like this more than something where you offset your carbon emissions (i.e. terrapass) because this increases the costs of pollution for private companies, where as terrapass doesn't. Really interesting, thanks <abbr><em>Ricky's last blog post..<a target="_blank" href="http://www.theleviathan.net/2009/01/14/smokers-golden-goose/" rel="nofollow">Smokers: The Golden Goose!</a></em></abbr> What an amazing idea!
