'Global Warming' fun scenario of the day:
Coal currently accounts for 83% of China's energy production. It is estimated that by 2030, the population of PRC will grow from 1.3 to 1.5 billion. This (along with continued urbanization of rural China) will result in an extra 8,600 terawatts of needed electricity - 3 times more than the usage in 2006. If China reduced Coal to 70% of energy production by 2030, even with "clean coal technology" equipped, China's CO2 emissions would increase by 80% by 2030.
Since China already produces more green house gases than the U.S. that would mean that in 2030, the US could emit 0 green house gases (read: not exist anymore) and everything would be pretty much the same as it is right now.
Doesn't that Cap-and-Trade sound amazing right now? It's going to save the planet!!!
