Under the Clean Air Act of 1990, private businesses and governmental agencies that succeed in keeping their emissions below the permissible limits dictated by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] can earn ‘‘pollution credits.’’ These can be sold to others who can’t stay within limits or can be retired reducing future pollution. You are a state legislator of California and your state has accumulated a tremendous number of pollution credits. There is talk of using them as lures for new industry – if someone locates in your state, you will give them some of the pollution credits so that they may exceed limits [UPSELL_BEGIN] digital_copies_of_sources_used = 0 plagiarism = 0 pref_writer = 0 urgent_writer_assign = 0 version = 4; Technical line.
