Units of Energy Transformation, marketed as a product, account for them. Each UET is a piece of a single transformation project. In aggregate, UETs comprise the purchase of something as simple as upgraded insulation in a Habitat for Humanity rehab or as grand as large solar array. Every UET eliminates the need for some amount of future fossil fuel use.Paul Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855759989308442259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-14780414606735626812011-08-24T11:05:10.140-07:002011-08-24T11:05:10.140-07:00Heartland (and it's friends) is not going to p...Heartland (and it's friends) is not going to put forth or support a good CO2/CH4 reduction program. Heartland's friends derive great satisfaction from exploiting the commons while excluding others. (An effective program would have to address things like population, and how we grow rice (to reduce CH4 emissions. see http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5522-technic-to-improve-rice-production) <br /><br />Thus, we will all be stuck with Mother Nature's program.

To solve an international problem such as global warming you need international agreement, and the right wing extremists seem to have set their minds against that.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152292130415788120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-10526021734415570762011-08-23T18:01:14.415-07:002011-08-23T18:01:14.415-07:00I see I am not the only one who sees a video of a ...I see I am not the only one who sees a video of a presentation as an affront.

Benson, a transcript is what you will get.<br /><br />The video's also available on YouTube BTW; in case that's more slow-connection-friendly - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-oXWUdoXX0<br /><br />I called Heartland & asked permission to show the Denning talk on our local community TV station, & permission was granted, if I preface the video with something like "available courtesy of the Heartland Institute"; which gave me temporary retrospective pause, as it'd confer some science-aligned credibility to HI by extension.
