so why would suppliers lobby for a quota? right now they can pollute (emit) all they want for free. would a quota be preferable to an energy supplier over an equivalent tax?

Not sure, sounds like they get an edge on their competition. If you're a big enough player you can basically make your competition pay higher prices for the same thing because you can control price since you're a bigger player. Also you can lobby Congress to get special treatment and get it since you've got more dough.
