Kyoto and the Econony
Last week, in a Danish interview, President Bush claimed that "Kyoto would have wrecked our economy".Well, as pointed out by Nickolas Kristof at the NY Times, the President clearly hasn't heard about the success Portland as had in reducing its carbon emissions.
According to Kristof, Portland has *achieved* Kyoto's goal of 1990 level emissions while still growing their economy. And they did it with unsexy ideas and technologies that are already here, like LED traffic lights, bike lanes, and mass transit, not with fuel cells and next generation nuclear.
