Nope. It remains as low as it ever was.

I’ll see if I can dive into it, a real world example is going to be very useful. What I did see for the old TIER program that just relied on tightening, carbon taxes and the use of credits. small producers just did not have the capital or capability to reduce emissions. This might actually do it.

Even folks making up the policy don’t know how these things work in practice. That’s a big problem.

can you point me in the direction of these polls. (Lazy skeet)

2 for 1 what? the “credits” are based on costs of emissions reduction so nothing to to with market price.

I’m surprised credits are even selling for $17 given that the headline price is effectively zero until the feds re-revise it. Also, I’d imagine that there are a bulk of offsets that will expire before we have clarity on the next policy. (Maybe spring 2026)

I’m not really sure this is the compromise experts are making it out to be. It would result in emissions reductions otherwise not happening.

Yeah. A good start is enforcement.

Write your local Police Commission if you’ve got one.

I’m no longer in industry directly, but this is partly result of some of my work. My point was that smaller producers can rarely win TIER funding (rewards novelty generally, which implies risk) but rather wanted funding that directly enables reductions. I think this does this.

From anecdotal discussions with drivers, uber pays less, but allows very flexible part-time deployment. Taxis need to be running non stop. It’s to do with fixed costs vs variable costs. If taxi base costs could be as flexible, then taxi revenue would win out easily on your metric.

You got a response by now, yes?

on the radar, thanks!

does that building at the north end of fifth (between 2 ave and river path) still have that sign up that says cyclists cannot use that public right of way?

Isn’t this a much more efficient means of incentivizing GHG reductions? Spend $ on reduction, use those credits to offset compliance in one year.
December 6, 2025 at 3:46 PM
Where is the information for this on the TIER site? I’m not sure there are a lot of cheap emissions reduction projects still out there. And if they are, a reduction is still a reduction, right?
