Oh look, its another one .. Emissions quota per Citizen proposed!

From the Sunday Business post:

http://www.thepost.ie/breakingnews/ireland/mhidsngbkfoj/ - ( 08/12/2008 )

This time its COMHAR - The Government's Sustainable Development Council. Comhar are part of the Department for Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Comhar started off in 1999

"Comhar has proposed a new system to help reduce Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions.

Under the scheme, a cap would be set each year on the amount of greenhouse gases that fuel suppliers are allowed to emit.

All adults would then get certificates entitling them to an equal share of the emissions and allowing them to sell the certificates if they use less than their allocation.

The idea has been submitted to the Environment Minister John Gormley for consideration."

And so, stopping on the way to Dublin at Josephine's in Urlingford, trading certificates with other drivers out back near the bicycle shed :)

Yet another Quango trying to come up with a plan to roll in some cash and justify their existence. Maybe someday we will all have our very own Quango following us around .. a sort of guardian angel!
