Polluters Money Helps Clean Communities.
Under the Global Warming Solutions law of 2006, California created a cap-and-trade program to charge major polluters for their carbon emissions and help pay for projects that reduce pollution. A second law mandated that at least 25% of that fund go to projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. Investigators examined some regional projects, including solar power systems for low-income families and tree-planting in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and now release their report.
