Isn't Obama's plan to keep CO2 legal just like if Exxon said ';we'll only spill 90% of our oil instead of 100%';?

Uh huh, and keeping burritos legal is wrong also.... And so is exercising since that creates more co2 than necessary.

Cap on CO2 will create the ';California effect'; where businesses move to other areas ( states and countries )where the laws do not exist. China, Mexico, and other ';developing countries'; don't have to follow CO2 limits even though they signed the Kyoto Treaty.Isn't Obama's plan to keep CO2 legal just like if Exxon said ';we'll only spill 90% of our oil instead of 100%';?
That depends. I don't know the expected reduction. Exxon's oil spill wasn't a normal part of their business practice. Manufacturing creates CO2 on a regular and ongoing basis. Reducing it a small amount would have a much greater affect over time, than a small reduction on a once a decade event.
