Perhaps we should first look elsewhere for models, for instance Greece. True, their problems are not energy related, but otherwise there are strong similarities.

Look, all this focus on reducing carbon dioxide is absurd. CO2 is a natural and *necessary* component of the atmosphere. Human activities have contributed only a small percentage of the existing atmospheric CO2 content and CO2 is, itself, only a small component of the atmosphere. Get over it!

If anybody is *really* concerned about atmospheric CO2, let them plant a great number of trees. Trees *love* CO2, they *eat* it and turn it into lovely forests and valuable lumber. This would also create real, long-term JOBS.
