although payments direct to NYers will take up 1/3 of the funds raised through auction
the other 2/3 goes toward a “Climate Investment Account” to fund transition stuff - and yeah, there may well be interesting grant opportunities from that for a place like Vassar

it does seem from the affordability study that that’s the priority here
direct cash payments of funds raised through the sale of emissions allowances, prioritized to low- and middle income households and geographically adjusted to give more $ in places with higher energy costs

a cross-country round trip flight generates about a ton of emissions
double that for a long haul flight
2 tons per person per year of total emissions - including home heat and power, driving, flying, consumption, etc - is about where we should be globally to stay under 1.5C

in fewer than 2 years unemployment was back below 4% from the onset of covid. inflation outpaced wages by about 3% for a year and has come back down - and most of the inflation was out of the hands of the government
