Arguably, the largest challenge facing our generation is eliminating human produced green house gasses to keep Climate Change in check. But there are many more benefits to investing and creating incentives to lead the Green Revolution.
As it stands, powerful influences are pushing their pro-pollution agenda. Being prodded by campaign contributions, one side votes again and again for legislation that kills protections of our air and water. Bills that strip the EPA's ability to stop mercury and arsenic from being dumped into our air and water, destroy mountain tops, and dump toxic coal sludge in our streams and rivers.
Updating our dirtiest energy plants creates jobs and keeps people healthy. Under a Carbon Credit system, dirty plants would have to pay to poison our air and water. Zero emission energy producers can sell their credits so they can afford to build more safe and healthy plants. Everyone wins.
