has waived the Clean Water Act prohibition on dumping mine waste in
surface water draniages, i.e, first order stream valleys. This order

Greetings everyone,
Many of you may remember a discussion some months ago on alternative
energy and global change. The thread spawned many tendrils with
subjects ranging from wind, solar, biofuels, and simple, old-

Cara,
Yes but fuel oil heats the majority of American homes, which is
basically tax exempt diesel fuel.
But your point is well taken; we cannot drill, or grow, our way out
of a positive carbon balance.
However, how much can conservation realistically reduce fossil fuel
use? 10%? 20%? But
et al, a sales/consumption tax? So is
it also regressive? At least until it eliminates fossil fuel use,
then another source of revenue will be needed for government services.
