Pa Disembala 16, bungwe la California Air Resources Board lidavomereza malamulo aboma a kapu ndi malonda pansi pa lamulo la boma lochepetsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha, AB32. Lamulo la kapu ndi malonda, limodzi ndi njira zingapo zowonjezera, zidzayendetsa chitukuko cha ntchito zobiriwira ndikukhazikitsa boma panjira ya tsogolo labwino lamphamvu, CARB ikuneneratu.
"Pulogalamuyi ndiye maziko a mfundo zathu zanyengo, ndipo ipititsa patsogolo kupita patsogolo kwa California kuti pakhale chuma champhamvu champhamvu," atero Wapampando wa CARB a Mary Nichols. "Zimapindulitsa kwambiri ndipo zimapereka makampani kukhala osinthika kwambiri kuti apeze njira zothetsera ntchito zobiriwira, kuyeretsa malo athu, kuwonjezera chitetezo chathu champhamvu ndikuwonetsetsa kuti California ndi yokonzeka kupikisana nawo pamsika womwe ukukula padziko lonse lapansi wa mphamvu zoyera komanso zongowonjezera."
Lamuloli limakhazikitsa malire adziko lonse pazambiri zomwe boma likuti ndi omwe amayambitsa 80 peresenti ya mpweya wowonjezera kutentha ku California ndikukhazikitsa chizindikiro chamtengo chomwe chikufunika kuyendetsa ndalama zanthawi yayitali mumafuta oyeretsa komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu moyenera. Purogalamuyi idapangidwa kuti ipatse mabungwe omwe ali ndi vuto lotha kutsata ndikugwiritsa ntchito njira zotsika mtengo kwambiri zochepetsera kutulutsa mpweya.
CARB imati pulogalamu ya cap-and-trade imapatsa California mwayi wokwaniritsa zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira padziko lonse lapansi zamapulojekiti, ma patent ndi zinthu zomwe zimafunikira kuti zichoke pamafuta oyambira ndi kuyeretsa magetsi. Lamulo la CARB lidzakhudza mabizinesi 360 omwe akuyimira malo 600 ndipo agawidwa m'magawo awiri otakata: gawo loyambilira kuyambira 2012 lomwe lidzaphatikizapo magwero onse akuluakulu a mafakitale pamodzi ndi zofunikira; ndi, gawo lachiwiri lomwe likuyamba mu 2015 ndikubweretsa ogawa mafuta oyendera, gasi ndi mafuta ena.
Makampani samapatsidwa malire enieni a mpweya wawo wotenthetsera mpweya koma ayenera kupereka malipiro okwanira (iliyonse ikuphimba chofanana ndi tani imodzi ya carbon dioxide) kuti apereke utsi wawo wapachaka. Chaka chilichonse, ndalama zonse zomwe zimaperekedwa m'boma zimatsika, zomwe zimafuna kuti makampani apeze njira zotsika mtengo komanso zogwira mtima zochepetsera mpweya wawo. Pakutha kwa pulogalamuyi mu 2020 padzakhala kuchepetsedwa kwa 15 peresenti ya mpweya wowonjezera kutentha poyerekeza ndi masiku ano, ikutero CARB, kufika pamlingo wofanana ndi womwe boma lidakumana nawo mu 1990, monga zimafunikira pansi pa AB 32.
Kuwonetsetsa kuti kusintha kwapang'onopang'ono, CARB ipereka zomwe imatcha "ndalama zaulere" kuzinthu zonse zamafakitale panthawi yoyamba. Makampani omwe amafunikira ndalama zowonjezera kuti athe kubweza zomwe amatulutsa atha kuzigula pamisika yanthawi zonse yomwe CARB izichita, kapena kuzigula pamsika. Zida zamagetsi zidzapatsidwanso zolipirira ndipo adzafunika kugulitsa ndalamazo ndikupereka ndalama zomwe amapeza kuti apindule ndi omwe amawalipira komanso kuthandiza kukwaniritsa zolinga za AB 32.
Maperesenti asanu ndi atatu aliwonse amakampani omwe amatulutsa mpweya amatha kulipidwa pogwiritsa ntchito ngongole zochokera kumapulojekiti ogwirizana, kulimbikitsa chitukuko cha mapulojekiti opindulitsa a zachilengedwe m'madera a nkhalango ndi ulimi, inatero CARB. Zomwe zili m'malamulowa ndi ma protocol anayi, kapena machitidwe a malamulo, okhudza malamulo owerengera ndalama za kaboni pazowongolera nkhalango, nkhalango zamatawuni, ma methane digesters a mkaka, ndi kuwonongedwa kwa mabanki omwe alipo azinthu zowononga ozoni ku US (makamaka ngati mawonekedwe a refrigerants mufiriji yakale ndi zida zoziziritsira mpweya).
Palinso makonzedwe okhazikitsa mapulogalamu apadziko lonse lapansi omwe angaphatikizepo kuteteza nkhalango zapadziko lonse lapansi, ikutero CARB. Mgwirizano wa mgwirizano wasainidwa kale ndi Chiapas, Mexico, ndi Acre, Brazil kuti akhazikitse mapulogalamuwa. Lamuloli lidapangidwa kuti California ilumikizane ndi mapulogalamu m'maboma kapena zigawo zina mkati mwa Western Climate Initiative, kuphatikiza New Mexico, British Columbia, Ontario ndi Quebec.
Lamuloli lakhala likukula kwa zaka ziwiri zapitazi kuchokera pamene ndondomeko ya Scoping Plan mu 2008. Ogwira ntchito ku CARB adachita zokambirana za anthu 40 pa mbali iliyonse ya ndondomeko ya kapu ndi malonda, ndi mazana a misonkhano ndi okhudzidwa. Ogwira ntchito ku CARB adagwiritsanso ntchito kuwunika kwa komiti ya buluu ya alangizi azachuma, kukambirana ndi mabungwe omwe amagwira ntchito pazanyengo, komanso upangiri wochokera kwa akatswiri odziwa zambiri kuchokera ku mapulogalamu ena aukadaulo ndi malonda kwina kulikonse padziko lapansi, ikutero.
