California Joins Northeast Global Warming Fight
California will link up with a carbon trading program begun by a group of Northeast states. Under the program, power plants in participating states will be granted a limited number of carbon credits, equal to the amount of carbon dioxide they are allowed to emit. Those that exceed their limits must purchase credits to cover the difference, while those that produce less carbon dioxide can sell the surplus credits.
