It required the State Air Resources Board to establish a program for statewide greenhouse gas emissions reporting and to monitor and enforce compliance with this program, authorizes the state board to adopt market-based compliance mechanisms [11] including cap-and-trade, and allows a one-year extension of the targets under extraordinary ...
On December 17, 2010 ARB adopted a cap-and-trade program to place an upper limit on state-wide greenhouse gas emissions. This is the first program of its kind on this scale in the United States, though in the north-eastern United States, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative works on a similar principle.

Current Earthship designs like the global module have a "double greenhouse" where the outside glass is angled toward the equator, and an internal glass wall forms a walk way or hallway as you step into the Earthship. This greenhouse is primarily used to grow food; it also creates a barrier for the 'comfort zone' inside the house.
Other greenhouse gas emission sources, such as suppliers of transportation fuels, must comply with the cap beginning in 2015. Among other things, the Western Climate Initiative lays the foundation for a North American cap-and-trade program, not only in its design and implementation, but in its potential acceptance of greenhouse gas emissions ...
The cap-and-trade program proposed by the legislation would reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions while generating revenue. A June 2009 analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the program would be deficit-neutral and would cost households an average of $175 per year.
