@DarranKern not a scam, a racket. It allowed companies to spend their money to get regulators off their back without having to do any additional work themselves. These companies that took the money had little to no reason to actually follow through and their impacts were almost universally unmeasurable. It was a way to launder money from one group to another. Not the first time this has happened in the name of environmentalism. Remember the whole solar crazy started by Obama who gave many millions of dollars in incentives for companies to install solar onto peoples houses? Turns out that did almost nothing to reduce CO2 and resulted in even more CO2 being released since the demand for solar panels went way up (solar panels are notoriously high carbon products only offsetting after about 10+ years of operation.) Many of these companies were owned by friends of very wealthy politicians and most don't exist today once the credits ended.
