Climate change is a pointless issue when China and India are more than willing, and will, make up for our lowering emissions.
One thing that will not go down no matter what party is in charge are your utility bills.
For those who truly care about the environment why aren't you living in mud huts?

Any realistic approach to sustainable green energy is squelched by the oil/coal industries with help from private interests in conjunction with the bought and paid for legislators.
In Florida, Duke Energy gave Rick Scott 1.2 million dollars to subsidize his victorious gubernatorial run - meanwhile in a state with 320 days of sunshine on average, solar sputters to a dead stop. Coincidence?
You can, literally, cover the roof of your house here with solar panels and create enough energy to SELL SOME OF IT back to Duke. Won't ever happen. You can never recoup the cost of the investment.
Meanwhile...Flat screen TV's go from 4000.00 to 299.00 in the space of 8 years-constantly developing and improving technology to bring better quality, lighter weight, cost effective products to market - yet solar panel technology is mired in the same back-assward, go nowhere rut it's been in for ages. Coincidence?
