Respuesta :


A. The number of issued permits under the cap and dividend policy increases year to year.

Answer;

A) The number of issued permits under the cap and dividend policy increases year to year.

Explanation;

-Cap and dividend is a market-based trading system which retains the original capping method of cap and trade, but also includes compensation for energy consumers.

-It is a simple, fair, and built-to-last policy solution to reduce the carbon and other heat-trapping emissions now harming our climate while boosting the income of most American families. It caps fossil fuels, requires energy companies to purchase pollution permits at auction, and returns all the auction revenue in equal amounts to every US resident with a valid Social Security number.
