Obama cannot afford to implement any changes right now. His biggest job is tackling this “recession” problem. He has to try to fix things, which mostly invlove printing a lot of money, before this recession becomes a “depression.” The envirnment is the least of his concerns, but from time to time he will give a cute speech showing some of his green supporters he really cares.

With his statement today and his request for a report back from Members of Congress attending the Poland meeting, the President-elect has sent the signal that the delegates have waited so long to hear.

The economic and environmental costs of processing the oil sands are ludicrous. It costs almost as much energy to remove the oil than is actually retrieved.

However, carbon-capture-and-storage is a concept, not a technology. Until it is a proven technology, comparisons that rely on it are only theories.
