Otherwise you would get public/political action now.<br /><br />If you are truly concerned about co2 then it may be time to push for a rapid transition from coal to LFTR. Such a push is politically doable (and will contain co2 emissions) while cap and trade et al is not.<br /><br />http://energyfromthorium.com/<br /><br />charlesHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-46589121194292205812010-07-24T21:12:50.443-07:002010-07-24T21:12:50.443-07:00It is imperative that we create a plan to alter ou...It is imperative that we create a plan to alter our energy consumption an emissions of all kinds if we are going to have any hope of sparing some of the effects we have had on altering the climate. <br /><br />There is an interview series on climate change that you might enjoy.<br /><a href="http://www.ourblook.com/topic/citizen_journalism.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ourblook.com/topic/citizen_journalism.html</a>Maguirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-20104388415774660452010-07-23T17:46:12.472-07:002010-07-23T17:46:12.472-07:00> It's a credulity failure,
