Just to clarify--my comment was a quote(Jimmy Durante, I think)intended to point out the stupidity of this thread title. I'm an enthusiastic supporter of policies aimed at reducing carbon-based fuel consumption (the solar collectors on my roof help support this claim) and I"ve been involved with the subject since the late 70's, when I became Consumer Reports' resident expert on conservation.
    I'm amused to think that, after all these years, someone is taking what I said seriously.Even if it was a joke.
