Could carbon exchange be the best route to controlling emissions? Some argue that the cap-and-trade approach lets companies buy the right to pollute, while others see a way to encourage clean industry while boosting the economy.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on September 20, 2009.
