California has modified its cap-and-invest program, providing over $3 billion in free pollution allowances to companies that emit pollutants. This change occurred on Friday, following New York's decision earlier in the week to delay the implementation of regulations on carbon emissions from 2024 to 2028 and to reduce its emissions reduction targets.
