And this is why we're still "criminals" and "sinners" in the eco-left's eyes. All of this has little or nothing to do with ecology, and everything to do with the abolition of private property and personal freedom. If it isn't a government-imposed "solution", it doesn't matter. If it is a government-imposed "solution", then it's a "good thing" regardless of how ineffective (or even harmful) the measure is.
It's about control, not emissions.

Since MIT has proven that you can economically use waste CO2 to feed algae, that in turn produces large amounts of biodiesel and some ethanol, I am all for turning this waste product into almost pure profit.
Companies that currently go to great lengths to control huge amounts of CO2 at great expense, could redirect it into making them money. It is a win-win situation.
This suggestion has been hinted around Europe for a year now. Without enforcing Kyoto...the US is quietly doing what they wanted the US to do. But there are reasons for this. The US went to a higher filtered coal powered situation. The US lessen production of industrial items...shifting production to Mexico and other 3rd world countries. US factories that were unproductive...were shut down...while productive factories were beefed up and had money invested into them. For Europe...the coming of the Euro created a brief episode of more production...mostly in cheaper countries though (Spain and Italy). More demand in Europe for larger vehicles...like SUV's...also occurred.
Well, thank goodness we signed the Kyoto treaty.

I have never laughed more...
Certainly energy consumption drops if the costs are trippled - what a big surprise.
And given the fact that US citisens are awful energyhogs compared to europeans it's not much of a surprise they have tweaked their efficiency more than europeans did.
They just had to avoid driving to the letterbox with a humvee 2 times a day ;-)
This here articel makes for the bovine excrement award big time.
Great.
Now that its shown that the United States is producing less CO2 (and is actually consuming more than it produces, if you include trees), the enviromarxists will now state that we are at risk of global cooling...and the United States is hogging all the CO2.
