Capitalism is still the solution to invented problems
Gotta love how every other nation who signed the Kyoto Protocol (and gave the US such a tongue-lashing for abandoning it) saw their emissions RISE, yet the US' emissions dropped. Let them stick THAT in their pipe and smoke it.

In the long run coal will make a come back unless there is another energy source (like Thorium nuclear) to provide the capacity needed for future growth.| Permalink
