Michael, don’t forget that forests, when not expanding in size, are climate neutral. Rotting trees emit gasses, growing trees use them to grow. Forests do make oxygen etc, but from the carbon production point of view forests are neutral.

Not to mention your other arguments, Americans don’t know what jammed highways are (come to Belgium or the Netherlands to see some…). And if I don’t recall wrong, thats what ships do everywhere, no? BTW ship engines are very efficient compared to other engines.

But hey when you read this site you see that the US is also on the good path with all those investments in durable energy. And then this American ‘we have it bigger’ thingy is something very very good

Yes the British Government is already moving towards inticeing the capture and use of that NG (for many reasons, one of which is to burn it more compleatly in a system that has polution controls in the smoke stacks) for Energy rather then throwing it away and buying it from Russia and etc.

Oh, and you left out one of the main reasons the U.S. doesn’t like Kyoto is that it ignores the majority (if not all) of the National Forests.

Add those in and the U.S. is a Carbon Negitive producer … even with jammed highways and Foreign Flagged shipping tied up at the Ports running their engines for onboard electricity rather then pluging into a shore outlet … so the electricity comes from a heaviely regulated power plant that has polution controls.

Imagine there’s a country…it isn’t hard to do

(Agree you need to believe it to build it)
