Consumers who are forced to pay higher prices for energy will have less money to spend on other things. While the individual companies that provide the higher-priced “green” energy may do well, the net economic effect will be negative.
但这不过是幻想而已。配额贸易只能通过提高能源价格发挥作用。被迫为能源付出高价的消费者花在其他东西上的钱将会减少。尽管提供高价“绿色”能源的公司能够过得不错，但净经济效果必然是负数。
