Carbon Tax and Greenhouse Gas Control: Options and Considerations for Congress
ISBN: 9781499311372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Opponents argued that federal mandates may be necessary to achieve national objectives in areas where voluntary action by state and local...
