Ok, I am all for these if only to screw the Arabs:
#1: Better Cars and Suv's
#2: Modernize America's Electricity System
#3: Increase Energy Efficiency
#4: Protect Threatened Forests
#5: Support American Ingenuity

I already follow a lot of energy saving measures.

How about the other contries in the world? If we conserve, are they going to do the same? Will the UN force them? The UN can't even stop the genocide in Sudan. Un should mean Unsucessful Nincompoops.

This chart shows oil comsumption in Asia more than doubling by 2030 so it almost equals US consumption.

Deforestation occurs mainly in Brazil and they have told us "screw you" more or less, we will cut our trees all we want to.

I am sorry to say I don't think the rest of the world will follow our example.

Yes we are the largest consumers of energy but cutting ours will not make a big dent in the world consumption. Not that we shouldn't try but in any event, we are toast.

We are headed for those domes over cities in the science fiction books.

It's easy for some niaeve idealist one to say we need to do this or that. It is the doing that is difficult.

"We need to eat less fattening unhealthy food and comsume more healthy food."

You can give the person that said that a Nobel peace prize but it won't get the job done.

To condense it all down, it is easier said than done.
