The number one contributor to our emissions is the fact that we import thirty thousand employees every morning from the east bay, and then send them all back every evening.

Building solar panels is just a way to feel good while ignoring the real problem.

This so called Clean Energy Alternative will not create a single kilowatt of electricity. It will simply rearrange where the electricity is routed. I will opt out.

How about planting and caring for more trees? Each person needs 7 acres of woods to remove their " carbon " footprint ". You get O2 back as a bonus. I have more than seven acres of woodlot, so where is yours? Oh, there are more volcanoes, fumaroles and active seamounts that cause far more " Global Warming " than mankind creates. We sit between two hot fires. The Earth's temperature naturally rises and falls. Nothing mankind can do to change that.
