US Carbon trading – not worth a plug nickel
Posted on October 26, 2010 by Anthony Watts
I wrote a few weeks ago that The only lower price than today’s closing
price on a ton of carbon is ZERO. That’s true now more than ever. See the
chart below from yesterday’s close of the Chicago Climate Exchange:
And it’s still crashing. Last week the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)
announced that they were scrapping the existing carbon trading program, and
focusing on a new one that deals with directly sold carbon offsets rather
than open trading.
Of course, anybody with a lick of business sense could see this coming a
mile away, especially after there were deep employee cuts in mid August all
while the price of a ton of Carbon Dioxide continued to plummet.
According to Steve Milloy’s Green Hell Blog:
CCX was sold earlier this year for $600 million to the New York Stock
Exchange-listed IntercontinentalExchange (Symbol: ICE), an electronic
futures and derivatives platform based in Atlanta and London. ICE also
acquired the European Climate Exchange as part of the transaction. The ECX
remains open to accommodate the Kyoto Protocol-required carbon trading among
EU nations. The sale of CCX to ICE allowed climateers like Al Gore’s
Generation Investment Management and Goldman Sachs to cash out of
investments in CCX.
At its founding in November 2000, some estimated that the size of CCX’s
carbon trading market could reach $500 billion.
$500 billion trading thin air? Sure, yep, you betcha. Do you think there
will be any confidence in buying carbon offsets directly when the free
market runs from carbon trading like they are vacating a burning house?
A bag of charcoal BBQ briquettes is worth far more than a ton of carbon
dioxide right now. Stock up, you might be able to sell them to some
unsuspecting dupe a briquette at a time just so long as you provide a
certificate to go with each one. |
