Take the following as truth: The data confirm a general prediction about cap-and-trade programs, that they will tend to create incentives for the dirtiest plants to clean up the most, as the per-ton cost of emissions reductions may be expected to be the least.
Then the following statement: "Cap and trade programs impose restrictions on industrial industry and are a benefit to the environment." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
