From the AGA: NG Cap & Trade
I posted this in another discussion but it may have gone unnoticed. It's hardly new (dated May 15, 2009), but maybe word hasn't spread. If I'm reading it wrong, hit me with your best shot and let me know.

from paragraph 3 -
"In recognition of the achievements that natural gas customers have shown over the past four decades in terms of increased energy efficiency, the Waxman-Markey legislation does not bring residential and commercial natural gas customers under the cap-and-trade system until 2016."

Sesport, under the Waxman-Markey bill the local distribution companies (LDC's) are responsible for the CO2 emissions related to residential and commercial consumption of natural gas. The statement above just indicates the LDC's will not have any compliance obligations before 2016. This is in recognition of all the efforts in the past by LDC's to incentivize the movement by consumers to more efficient natural gas appliances.

Thanks, Les. In your opinion, am I correct in my understanding that we, as consumers, will not have that particular cap& trade passed on to us?

Sesport, yes and no. You as a consumer will not see a direct charge. But the local utility will have to recoup any cost incurred through the price charged for natural gas consumed. The actual price impact will be a function of the percentage of "free" allowances and the average cost per ton of CO2 emitted.

In a few words, I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION AND MAYBE AT LEAST A FEW OF THE DEMO IDIOTS WILL BE GONE.

KAY - Okay, in the meantime, let's use our time constructively. Your thoughts about the statement posted in the topic? How do you see this affecting you, or do you have questions about that?
