Under the program, caps are placed on greenhouse gas emissions by industries, such as oil refineries and energy producers, which pay fees on emissions that exceed those caps. Though t...

Mental health care facilities provide professional treatment with professional staff. They also monitor their clients around the clock and provide security for their clients. So how is this...
