Clinton proposes carbon dioxide, mercury emission rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
US President Bill Clinton called for new rules to
regulate carbon dioxide and mercury emissions from US
electric power plants through a system of caps and
trades, similar to the one in use for nitrogen oxide
and sulfur dioxide.

At the same time, Clinton asked for curbs on mercury
emissions from power plants. Under the cap and trade
system, the government would set national limits on
emissions and divide pollution allowances among power
plants.

Clinton said an integrated strategy covering all four
pollutants would provide planning certainty to the
utility industry and reduce the cost of cutting the
emissions on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis. This "four
pollutant" approach would establish national emissions
standards, or 'caps,' on sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
oxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide.
