They have benchmarks for reducing carbon emissions. 2020 and 2050. The plan is to curb greenhouse gas emissions and create an energy-efficient economy. It is all smoke and mirrors which will cost billions of dollars and have little to no effect on the environment. One of the biggest failure, and I have mentioned this numerous times, is that the other countries in the world are doing nothing, China and India have no such constraints and are not particpating in any such Cap and Trade regulations. Europe has no such regulations which use this process. They will continue with unregulated growth to secure their economic futures. We, on the otherhand will be spending billions if not trillions. And guess what, you are going to pay for it.
