Bloomberg said it obtained internal documents revealing that Edison bidders had used “the wrong format” to submit its bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some market players have expressed concern that the $16 million mistake overstated the real demand for carbon permits and set the price for carbon artificially high (\"settlement\" price of the first auction was about nine cents higher than the $10 floor price).

He said there’s a reason for the tight lid on bidders. About a week after the Bloomberg story appeared, and KQED made its inquiries, the Air Board put out a stern “reminder” of the rules prohibiting bidders from talking about the auctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>\"If we had had more transparency, it would’ve become much more quickly clear what had happened.\"\u003c/strong> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Clegern went on to say that, \"We are simply trying to let the market take its course without being flooded with misinterpretation or rumors or anything like that, that might cause spikes that are unrealistic and unnecessary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Edison nor the Air Board would talk with us about this particular incident. The current rules prohibit it. And at a recent workshop on “information sharing” from the cap-and-trade program, it was clear that the Air Board is taking it seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even statements such as, ‘We were unable to purchase as many allowances as we would’ve liked,’ are related to strategy and bid quantity, so those are also prohibited,\" intoned CARB official Rajinder Sahota, who manages monitoring of the cap & trade program. The state releases general information about each auction -- like the total permits offered and purchased -- but there’s a strict gag order on all market participants when it comes to what individual companies are bidding and buying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it comes to our attention that those kinds of discussions are occurring and that information is being shared,\" Sahota warned attendees, \"ARB will investigate, because at face value they are a violation of the regulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some large corporate cap-and-trade players are still arguing for less disclosure. But other observers say, generally, more is better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By increasing the transparency, increasing access to data, then people can start to realize that it’s not a shell game,\" said Tim O’Connor, who's been closely watching California’s carbon market for the Environmental Defense Fund. \"It’s a legitimate tool for reducing emissions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This concept of “transparency” is crucial to public confidence, especially in California, where memories are still raw from the late ‘90s, when manipulation of the electricity market sent utility bills soaring, put PG&E into bankruptcy, and helped unseat Governor Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley energy economist Severin Borenstein says that this time around, \"If we had had more transparency, it would’ve become much more quickly clear what had happened.\" Borenstein is on an independent market assessment committee that has argued for more “transparency” in the carbon markets. But he says it’s still a bit unclear where to draw the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that they are still in the process of developing policy on this,\" he said. \"Certainly in the long run I would want to see them be more transparent and certainly allow more public discussion among stakeholders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the experts we spoke with agree with Borenstein that overall, the market seems to be working. Since its launch in November, the price of California carbon has gone up, which is the right direction for emissions to eventually come down. The minimum bid for today’s auction has been raised, from $10 to closer to $11 per ton of carbon. Futures have been trading in the mid-teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Borenstein says it’s not unusual for new markets to start with a hiccup or two. \"The market is not gonna launch smoothly on Day 1. Markets never do,\" he explained. \"It’s gonna require adjustments. And so the screw-up in the first auction, for instance, is one that I don’t anticipate will happen again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question remains: if it does happen again, and it does affect the market price of carbon credits in California--who will know?\u003c/p>\n\n",

And at a recent workshop on “information sharing” from the cap-and-trade program, it was clear that the Air Board is taking it seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even statements such as, ‘We were unable to purchase as many allowances as we would’ve liked,’ are related to strategy and bid quantity, so those are also prohibited,\" intoned CARB official Rajinder Sahota, who manages monitoring of the cap & trade program. The state releases general information about each auction -- like the total permits offered and purchased -- but there’s a strict gag order on all market participants when it comes to what individual companies are bidding and buying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it comes to our attention that those kinds of discussions are occurring and that information is being shared,\" Sahota warned attendees, \"ARB will investigate, because at face value they are a violation of the regulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some large corporate cap-and-trade players are still arguing for less disclosure. But other observers say, generally, more is better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By increasing the transparency, increasing access to data, then people can start to realize that it’s not a shell game,\" said Tim O’Connor, who's been closely watching California’s carbon market for the Environmental Defense Fund. \"It’s a legitimate tool for reducing emissions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This concept of “transparency” is crucial to public confidence, especially in California, where memories are still raw from the late ‘90s, when manipulation of the electricity market sent utility bills soaring, put PG&E into bankruptcy, and helped unseat Governor Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley energy economist Severin Borenstein says that this time around, \"If we had had more transparency, it would’ve become much more quickly clear what had happened.\" Borenstein is on an independent market assessment committee that has argued for more “transparency” in the carbon markets. But he says it’s still a bit unclear where to draw the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that they are still in the process of developing policy on this,\" he said. \"Certainly in the long run I would want to see them be more transparent and certainly allow more public discussion among stakeholders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the experts we spoke with agree with Borenstein that overall, the market seems to be working. Since its launch in November, the price of California carbon has gone up, which is the right direction for emissions to eventually come down. The minimum bid for today’s auction has been raised, from $10 to closer to $11 per ton of carbon. Futures have been trading in the mid-teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Borenstein says it’s not unusual for new markets to start with a hiccup or two. \"The market is not gonna launch smoothly on Day 1. Markets never do,\" he explained. \"It’s gonna require adjustments. And so the screw-up in the first auction, for instance, is one that I don’t anticipate will happen again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question remains: if it does happen again, and it does affect the market price of carbon credits in California--who will know?\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One subject that perked our interest because we’ve been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/fracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">covering it\u003c/a>: fracking. As KQED Science’s Lauren Sommer explains …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Fracking is an oil-extraction technique in which millions of gallons of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, are injected underground at high pressure. That cracks the rocks, letting the oil out. Around the country, hydraulic fracturing has led to record levels of oil and gas production.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And as Forum’s Amanda Stupi recently wrote in her post “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/24/what-to-pay-attention-to-as-the-california-fracking-debate-heats-up/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What to Pay Attention to as the California Fracking Debate Heats Up\u003c/a>” …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While fracking has been big news for a while in Pennsylvania, North Dakota and elsewhere in the country, it has yet to become a popular topic of dinner conversation in California. That’s likely going to change.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83253\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/12/fracking.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-83253\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/12/fracking-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"Workers change the pipes in a fracking operation in Waynesburg, PA.

(Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images) \u003ccite>(Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Why? Because the federal Bureau of Land Management has opened up 18,000 acres in Monterey, Fresno and San Benito Counties to oil leases. But the oil deep in what’s called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=monterey+shal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Shale\u003c/a> is notoriously tough to extract. “Most if it is locked inside the shale rock,” Lauren Sommer reports. “But recently, oil companies have gotten a lot better at getting oil out of shale thanks to hydraulic fracturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drafting regulations around fracking\u003c/a>. But many environmentalists are just dead-set against the technique, worrying about water contamination and other negative effects. \u003c!--more-->So let’s hear what former Vice President Al Gore — one of the world’s most influential advocates on climate change and other environmental issues — has to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forum host Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: What do you think about the anticipated fracking expansion in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Al Gore\u003c/strong>: I’m concerned about it. It has pluses and minuses. Advocates have long pointed out that natural gas has only 50 percent of the CO2 content when it’s burned compared to coal. But a lot of it leaks in the fracking process. And when the methane leaks into the atmosphere, each molecule has 70 times the potential warming effect compared to CO2 over a 10-20 year period, and then it lessens somewhat. But that means not very much needs to leak to wipe out the advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the water requirements. Six million gallons on average for each new fracking well. And the water that’s used is mixed with very toxic chemicals, and that sometimes pollutes the groundwater. The industry claims it doesn’t, but there are too many examples that shows that it does — often when they re-inject the poisoned fracking water back deep into the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These and other issues are ones that I think are deserving of careful exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People often say fracking is an issue that requires the classic question: is the glass half-full or half-empty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the Earth’s atmosphere is completely full. And we’re going to have to make a shift to renewable energy sources. We have the ability to do that. The report came out recently that last year the largest new additions to electricity production in the U.S. came from wind — 42 percent of all new energy production from wind. In Australia, wind energy, a report says, is now cheaper than electricity from a new coal plant or a new gas plant. And solar photovoltaic energy is spreading far more rapidly than anyone thought was possible. In 2010 the world’s cumulative investments in renewable energy for the first time exceeded the world’s investments in fossil fuel energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the fracking wave over the last two years has put [non-renewables] out in front again, but it is inexorable that we will shift to renewable energy. Part of the problem with speeding up this transition, though, is that we provide massive subsidies to coal and oil, and on a global basis it amounts to about $500 billion a year. We ought to save money buy stopping those subsidies to the dirty carbon fuels.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked Lauren Sommer to comment on one part of what Gore said: his contention that there have been “too many examples” of groundwater being contaminated by the fracking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Groundwater contamination has been one of the most controversial questions in the fracking debate,” Sommer says. “While there have been documented cases of methane seeping into groundwater, linking it directly to fracking activity has been trickier.

Because the federal Bureau of Land Management has opened up 18,000 acres in Monterey, Fresno and San Benito Counties to oil leases. But the oil deep in what’s called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=monterey+shal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Shale\u003c/a> is notoriously tough to extract. “Most if it is locked inside the shale rock,” Lauren Sommer reports. “But recently, oil companies have gotten a lot better at getting oil out of shale thanks to hydraulic fracturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drafting regulations around fracking\u003c/a>. But many environmentalists are just dead-set against the technique, worrying about water contamination and other negative effects. \u003c!--more-->So let’s hear what former Vice President Al Gore — one of the world’s most influential advocates on climate change and other environmental issues — has to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forum host Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: What do you think about the anticipated fracking expansion in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Al Gore\u003c/strong>: I’m concerned about it. It has pluses and minuses. Advocates have long pointed out that natural gas has only 50 percent of the CO2 content when it’s burned compared to coal. But a lot of it leaks in the fracking process. And when the methane leaks into the atmosphere, each molecule has 70 times the potential warming effect compared to CO2 over a 10-20 year period, and then it lessens somewhat. But that means not very much needs to leak to wipe out the advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the water requirements. Six million gallons on average for each new fracking well. And the water that’s used is mixed with very toxic chemicals, and that sometimes pollutes the groundwater. The industry claims it doesn’t, but there are too many examples that shows that it does — often when they re-inject the poisoned fracking water back deep into the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These and other issues are ones that I think are deserving of careful exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People often say fracking is an issue that requires the classic question: is the glass half-full or half-empty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the Earth’s atmosphere is completely full. And we’re going to have to make a shift to renewable energy sources. We have the ability to do that. The report came out recently that last year the largest new additions to electricity production in the U.S. came from wind — 42 percent of all new energy production from wind. In Australia, wind energy, a report says, is now cheaper than electricity from a new coal plant or a new gas plant. And solar photovoltaic energy is spreading far more rapidly than anyone thought was possible. In 2010 the world’s cumulative investments in renewable energy for the first time exceeded the world’s investments in fossil fuel energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the fracking wave over the last two years has put [non-renewables] out in front again, but it is inexorable that we will shift to renewable energy. Part of the problem with speeding up this transition, though, is that we provide massive subsidies to coal and oil, and on a global basis it amounts to about $500 billion a year. We ought to save money buy stopping those subsidies to the dirty carbon fuels.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked Lauren Sommer to comment on one part of what Gore said: his contention that there have been “too many examples” of groundwater being contaminated by the fracking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
