Note to self

Don't miss the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative's CO2 Allowance Auction 1 scheduled for September 25, 2008. We should learn much about the marginal cost of CO2 abatement from the bids:

Bid < Marginal CO2 abatement cost

Comments

Check the buffet for threatened/endangered species.

Couldn't it also be:

Bid < Anticipated resale value of allowance?

I'm not predicting a bubble in carbon credits, just that I have a nervous tic where I must disagree as much as possible with everything on this site...
