The future of cap and trade will be decided in Congress, not on the Internet - but My Emissions Exchange does give a little power to the people, and that's not a bad thing.

Vogue put Michelle Obama on its March cover partly because, as its Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour commented, “She believes, as we do at Vogue, that to be an independent, working woman doesn...
