I usually take polls with little faith. In this case it sems that there are polls all over talking about these same kind of numbers. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub..._of_america/right_direction_wrong_track/right Pep
One more from Heritage Foundation They are going at us frome very angle ! This could not be a group of conspiring people try to put a bag over our heads ? http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/wm2450.cfm Pep
Pep the 1st link leads to a dead end, I think the story might have been removed? Just a slightly different slant on the same story http://www.carbon-financeonline.com/index.cfm?section=lead&action=view&id=11962 http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/05/thinking-about-cap-and-trade.html
This one also ties in to what the 2nd post brought up http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ources_more_critical_than_fuel_efficient_cars I find it interesting that 75% reckon the US needs to find a new source of energy. Does this mean a growing movment away from oil towards possibly wind/solar/wave etc? possibly even a greater relience on nuclear. this in itself would help cut emmissions that they are all going on about quite a bit.
We will probably need oil for about two decades in the stage of new energy growth. CA is now making noise about drilling to get a large sum of capital to repair their broken ways. Better fuel economy and industrial waste control will help a whole lot. Jet engines that burn less fuel and pollute less are a rather large part of PCS. Photo chemical Smog. Do not use corn for ethanol It is a less then one to one return , totally political. Switch grass which grows two crops a year with nothing on the input side is a high yield , as in green waste we throw in land fills . those two are a 6:1 yield all just for picking it. Growing corn for ethanol is irrational, political and costs lives. I do not think it to be effecient to use our Army to obtain a supply of fuel when we have what we need here, Canada and Mexico. The one thing any service person dislikes more than all others is to go to war. I spent the early eighties working on multi fuel projects for a company in CA. It would have been fine but the grasp of the suject was about money , not health etc. Pep
