And yet you insist that is preferable to doing
anything on the demand side, such as using
high-efficiency lighting.

I guess you must agree that scrubbers, which do
nothing about mining and transportation, will not
solve the problem.

One way to do that is to use less energy.  This
doesn't mean we will use less tomorrow than
we are today.  It means we can use less tomorrow
than we might otherwise use tomorrow.  CFLs are
but one way to implement changes for the better.

That is what happens when an incpmpetent,
border line retarded person unencumbered by
ethics or even the remotest hint of honesty is
given the reigns of government.  Compounding
Bush's unbelievable stupidity, his insatiable
greed and his total lack of moral character is
his incomprehensible belief that he is "God's
Man of the Hour."  The idiot actually believes
that God has sent him to lead the world --
never mind the fact that the rest of the world
thinks he's a buffoon.

What would give rise to such a hope?
