fly into Dallas or into Silicon Valley and breathe in those noxious brown fumes that are visible We're talking about CO2 though. Not something you can see. CO2 is invisible and it doesn't contribute anything to those fumes you see. Furthermore CO2 doesn't hurt human health at all. Everytime you breathe out, your breath is about 40,000 ppm of CO2. The atmosphere is only a few hundred ppm of CO2. Within your (or anyone's) well-insulated house the CO2 level is probably far above the atmosphere outside. Does living in a high CO2, namely a house, harm your health? I'll not re-argue the claim that national security costs are a massive security for oil, but I will point out that if you are concerned about dependence on Middle Eastern oil, you should be opposed to the tax changes I pointed out earlier that will hurt the DOMESTIC oil and gas industry, NOT the international o&g industry. Using tax and royalty policy to lower DOMESTIC production of oil and gas makes us directly MORE dependent on foreign sources.
