Is carbon trading a way to shift funds from taxpayers and consumers to renewable-energy entrepreneurs and big business? Will these potentially valuable carbon permits be given away or sold at auction? What will be the balance between gdp growth and the environment? Will politicians continue to undermine an open market? In N.S.W., for example, the state government has granted BlueScope an exemption from its carbon trading scheme or any future carbon tax to help establish a new steel plant at Port...
