In the ongoing debate over how to allocate emissions permits, I certainly would support the notion that any coal power plant that hadn't received it's construction permits prior to Dec 11, 1997 (Kyoto agreement) should not be allocated any free permits... or at least only permits equaling what an efficient gas combined cycle would have required.

Any company, cooperative or municipal utility deciding to build coal plants after it was obvious caps would happen should have to sleep in the bed they made.
