Click here5 to see a 2001 agreement adopted by the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers (NEG-ECP) setting targets and timetables for cutting regional emissions. Click here6 for information on the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), an agreement among 10 Northeast states to cap and reduce CO2 emissions from electric power plants.

Generating more energy from sources that do not emit greenhouse gases, such as wind and solar power, is one of the main strategies that states are relying on to meet the commitments they have made under the NEG-ECP agreement and RGGI. ISO-New England’s 2007 electricity scenario analysis found that meeting the region’s CO2 emissions targets under RGGI will require adding substantial amounts of low-carbon or carbon-free generation, plus other measures such as increasing the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
