So who are the deniers? Washington, D.C.-During a hearing today in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, EPA Administrator Jackson confirmed an EPA analysis showing that unilateral U.S. action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would have no effect on climate. Moreover, when presented with an EPA chart depicting that outcome, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he disagreed with EPA's analysis. "I believe the central parts of the [EPA] chart are that U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels," Administrator Jackson said. Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) presented the chart to both Jackson and Secretary Chu, which shows that meaningful emissions reductions cannot occur without aggressive action by China, India, and other developing countries. "I am encouraged that Administrator Jackson agrees that unilateral action by the U.S. will be all cost for no climate gain," Sen. Inhofe said. "With China and India recently issuing statements of defiant opposition to mandatory emissions controls, acting alone through the job-killing Waxman-Markey bill would impose severe economic burdens on American consumers, businesses, and families, all without any impact on climate." http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.PressReleases&Content- Record_id=564ed42f-802a-23ad-4570-3399477b1393 |

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 08, 2009 12:31 pm) 600 miles of high-voltage transmission lines - sounds like a pretty "massive" impact.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 08, 2009 1:13 pm) Google burns a lot of power, so, as wiki says, one place they put them is in Oregon to take advantage of inexpensive hydroelectric power. Follow the money. Part of the complaint about getting that renewable power to the California cities is the cost. |
