Personally, I think the concept is most appropriate when the market spans developed and developing countries, where most of the new coal plants are being built: exchanging developed countries' capital for credits from new nuclear plants in developing countries would facilitate a least-cost global emission reduction. Nevertheless, early experiments will produce valuable data to establish regulated international markets with truly global reach. -dl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
