The much-vaunted trade-and-cap approach has a serious flaw: the risk of air pollution is not only a factor of the total pollution released nationwide. Excessive emissions from a single point source of pollution or a cluster of sources can seriously endanger the health of people living nearby. I don't think people should be deprived of breathable air because they live near a pollution source that has accumulated a store of emissions "credit".

That's not to say the approach has no virtue, but absolute caps on point source emissions have to be part of the picture.
