Background
My administration is considering a comprehensive climate policy that includes a national cap-and-trade system, investments in renewable energy, and emissions reduction targets. Supporters argue it is necessary to combat climate change and create green jobs. Opponents worry about potential economic impacts, particularly on traditional energy industries and consumers.
Options
Implement a national cap-and-trade system with emissions reduction targets
Focus on tax incentives for renewable energy without emissions mandates
Delay action to avoid economic impacts on traditional industries
Introduce a phased approach to emissions reductions with industry-specific targets
Leave climate policy decisions to state and local governments
