Precisely.
The goal of CAFE standards is no doubt mult-goal: Less pollution, lower costs, and others I'm sure.
I'm not sophisticated enough to understand how carbon taxes would achieve the same goal; the very term sounds to me like hocus-pocus. The fact that companies can trade these credits among themselves sounds like a shell game to me.
