del, there is a graph in the page you linked to. nrdc.org In the curve showing saving based up 39 mpg, what percentage of the savings comes from the extra 10 thousands children who will die in auto accidents each year. Once a child skull is crushed in in a light small vehicle involved in an accident that child ceases to consume energy. That is one way to conserve energy. tom watson tosiwmee

On Monday's Earth Day, President Bush (news - web sites) will appear at a park in New York state to tout an initiative that encourages power plants to voluntarily reduce their emissions. (* Yeah as if we can trust them to police themselves! Like the S+L's and Enron did huh?) Energy and environment are political Siamese twins. Nearly 98 percent of all U.S. carbon dioxide emissions are energy-related, said Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a New Mexico Democrat who authored the provision that would require companies to report their annual emissions to the federal government. "Because of this intimate connection, much of energy policy and much of climate change policy is interlinked," Bingaman said, introducing the Democrats' broad energy bill last month. The Democrats' emissions reporting plan would lead Congress to issue an admission that man-made greenhouse gases cause global warming and charge an unspecified department with monitoring emissions, starting a year after the bill passes. VOLUNTARY VS MANDATORY As with last week's battle over Bush's proposal to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the greenhouse gas measure is expected to prompt various amendments seeking to weaken it. Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said they will try to make the emissions reporting voluntary.
