California delays its carbon trading program for a year

Facing continued litigation, California officials will delay enforcement of the state's complex carbon trading program until 2013, state Air Resources Board Chairwoman Mary Nichols announced Wednesday.

The delay in the cap-and-trade program, which was slated to take effect in January, is proposed, she said, because of the "need for all necessary elements to be in place and fully functional."http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace/2011/06/california-cap-and-trade.html
