Summary:

Provides background on cap-and-trade emission allowance and its impacts on households. Addresses issues related to assisting households with the costs of a cap and-trade program, and examines and compares several mechanisms to carry this out. Outlines how active greenhouse gas emission reduction legislation, such as H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, and S. 1733, the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, would address potential cap-imposed impacts to households. Includes tables and graphs
