Anyone can purchase sulfur dioxide emission allowances on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Several environmental groups have raised money to buy allowances (which they subsequently destroy).

  Source for quote: Randall Edwards, Dear Santa: Please Bring Me Sulfur Dioxide for Christmas, Columbus Dispatch, December 19, 1999.

  D) The price remains unchanged because the allowances purchased by the environmental groups are destroyed.
