From the Environmental Markets Association Blog
 EMA's Best Practice Principles for Market-Based Solutions. The Environmental Markets Association (EMA) strongly supports cap-and-trade legislation as the most environmentally-protective, cost-effective, and technologically-innovative policy approach to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. EMA members have decades of extensive, first-hand experience with cap-and-trade initiatives, including the Clean Air Act’s groundbreaking 1990 acid rain program that has decreased sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 52% from 1990 levels and abatement costs reduced to an estimated 43%- 55% due to the flexibility inherent in trading.The price signals created by that U.S. initiative have spurred technological innovations to optimize both environmental and economic efficiencies. Its overwhelming success makes EMA confident that a GHG cap-and-trade program will similarly ensure that GHG emissions will fall, unleash market forces to settle on the most cost-effective means to reduce GHG emissions, and precipitate a revolution of innovation in energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction technologies.

First Challenge to EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulations
It took just over a week for the first challenge to arise over the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) move to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the clean air act.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) Monday announced her intention to file a disapproval resolution to stop the EPA. Murkowski’s resolution comes in the wake of the agency’s recent endangerment finding, which was the last procedural step required to allow the EPA to impose regulations.
The Obama administration has said it prefers that Congress pass climate change resolution to reduce emissions. However; the administration said it is prepared to act through the EPA, if legislations is not passed.
“The endangerment finding must be stopped so that Congress can pass responsible legislation that is sound on its own merits, and not merely a defense against the threat of damaging regulations," Murkowski said.
Murkowski will file her disapproval resolution pursuant to the provisions of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., and Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, were the principal sponsors of the CRA, incorporated into the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996, and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
Upon introduction, a disapproval resolution is referred to the committee of jurisdiction, which in this case will be the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. If the committee does not favorably report the resolution within 20 calendar days, it may be discharged upon petition by 30 Senators. Once a disapproval resolution is placed on the Senate calendar, it is then subject to expedited consideration on the Senate floor, and not subject to filibuster.
