Any GW strategy that ignores this is a waste of time. Gives a whole new perspective to buying a Prius. "Frivolous" comes to mind.

>>"China counts on coal for about 70 per cent of its energy consumption, a proportion that has stayed almost unchanged for the past nearly three decades despite a skyrocketing rise in demand for power." Any GW strategy that ignores this is a waste of time.<< Bob - While it is clear that China is having, and will continue to have, a greater impact on GW than the US will, I don't see how that's any reason no to try to clean up our own side of the street. We can at least not make the problem worse. And we would then have the moral high ground, and be able to join in with the rest of the world in putting pressure on China. I certainly don't see this as a justification to build dozens of new coal burning power stations around the country. When trying to change the world, you have to start with the things over which you have control. If we wait for everyone else to make the first move, we will accomplish exactly nothing. - Allen
