Support taking tax breaks away from oil companies and applying them to
alternative energy development. Vote against politicians who are dumping
subsidies into bio-ethanol production and for politicians who'll spend the
money on solar and wind power. Drive a more fuel efficient car. Apply
energy conserving methods to your home and business.

Hey, I feel green already. I am literally in favor of (or against) all of
the things you are!

Don't forget, I'm the guy who tried (unsuccessfully) to buy an electric car
last fall, and we have spent the winter (and a stupidly grand amount of
money) converting every light fixture in our three 3-story buildings to
compact fluorescent bulbs.

And everyone here knows how I feel about the scam called "ethanol"...

So, you see -- even conservatives can be eco-friendly -- especially when
being that way also benefits the bottom line.

As to whether any of this will affect the world's climate, well, I think you
know my opinion of *that*...

Note that giving up your airplane is nowhere on the above list.

Whew! Thank goodness!

:-)

And I have a polite question: Do you understand why a 3 deg. C rise in
global average temperature by 2100 is a big deal?

In every model I've seen, Iowa comes out a big winner in any global warming
scenario. After this winter -- the coldest, snowiest we've ever seen in
Iowa -- I'm all for any temperature increase that we humans can muster.

Hell, we should be so lucky...
