It's so interesting to see monkeys throwing poo about this topic...
Of course there isn't consensus about this issue - there are vultures on both sides.
Yet...think about it for a minute; if 'climate change' is true, now is the time to act.
The corporations saying "Don't Act!" are those with the most to gain if WE don't act.
Corporations dictate the 'NEWS' to all the sources where we get our information from...think about that for a moment...we're all fed 'NEWS' by entities that are selling us something.

Back to the topic:
In terms of energy use, the US is WAY behind the rest of the world in terms of EFFICIENCY.
The current US energy policy is like a 1979 Ford Pinto.
Poli-tricks is what keeps our nation on its steady rise to the bottom, at least in terms of energy.
What's the problem? We used to be the innovator of the world - we used to be the leader of TECH, ENERGY, ETC...
Not the case anymore.
