Legacy Journal: Controlling Carbon: You Go First

Section:
Climate Change

Summary:
Many of the media and academic hyped prescription for curing perceived climate change problems and promoting alternative sources of energy production remind some of us of the kids summer games that
are playground and summer camp semi tests of bravado predictably backup up by “ You go first.” from the sidelines.

Main:
It is one thing to be in the game; quite another to be on the sidelines, in the stands, the booth, or on the beach with the latest throwaway book.

Consider the following:

* A certain California governor is said to be considering a 35 K makeover of his Hummer so it can run on canola oil.

* He also has had a fashination with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that have been prototyped by a Sacramento based research consortium and maintained by a dedicated gang of graduate engineers at their lab at UCDavis.

* One person drove his converted Mercedes diesel from Vermont to California on a fuel diet of diner grease. Now there is a recipe you can really run on. The stunt and a book have drawn attention, but so has the bizarre behavior of the horse Big Brown and people on reality TV.

* Some have proposed state wide color coded surtaxes on electrons flowing through the power grid that are generated by. say, coal fired steam plans.

* Others have suggested a jet water vapor trail surcharge on all national and international plane passangers, mail, and freight. A super supra charge would be made on flights from “dirty polluting China.”

* Countries like New Zealand and Sudan with more methane emitting sheep than people must also be called to account by the UN Security Council.

* Meanwhile, Al Gore, the current “Carbon Coach”, and Apple Board Member was sighted at the recently opened WWDC in San Francisco. To the best of our knowledge, the Major, Gavin “Green “ Newsome, has not yet declared the Moscone Convention Center a carbon fuel and plastic water bottle free zone.
