The way it works is that you are given a certain amount of free ones (mostly to power companies) from the government and can buy more from the government. In addition (from my understanding), say if you didn't use up all the free ones you were given, companies could buy and sell those between each other. I imagine they would have to document it in some way or go through some kind of proceeding so that all the credits are ultimately accounted for.
Many people think this is better than the previous version as it gives away some credits for free (the previous one gave none away) and the demands are a bit less stringent. One thing I like is that under this plan, companies that are meeting the requirements and have leftover credits can actually make money from it while under the previous plan they could not have done so.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
