too busy polluting it's countryside with lead and mercury to be bothered
with CO2 emissions :-)  I would like to see some movement on solar powered
CO2 scrubbers being attached to all parking garages and sized to suck down
the emissions of the entire lot for the average distance traveled. That
would employ a few engineers and support techs and would count for a good
"stimulus" project :-) Trees are nice but a tad slow on the CO2 uptake. Too
bad kudzu doesn't make a decent food crop.
