The CNN moderators didn't ask any questions about the environment, but Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack ... |

At the center is a cap-and-trade system that would reduce greenhouse-gas emissions 80 percent by 2050. Notably, Obama is the first major presidential candidate to propose that 100 percent of the initial emission permits be auctioned rather than freely allocated, a po ... |
