We can do better: the power companies charge the increased CO2 cost to their customers while still being subsidzed for them...

The endless possibilities...

You joke, but this is exactly the tactic the power companies intend. Most power companies were very vocal in their support for cap and trade. Paricularly if they had the opportunity to leverage any amount of CO2 free generation to sell for additional profit $'s.

Excelon, Entergy, Duke all stood to make out like bandits and lobbied accordingly.
