Sorry, but as far as the atmosphere is concerned, "per capita" doesn't mean squat on emissions.

...and in another post...

I fully agree that we need to get past burning carbons for fuel...

If I were running the show, I would be building nukes at least as fast as France did back in the 70s [and] encouraging decentralized solar and wind systems...every watt you get off someone's roof panel, or out of someone's windmill, is a watt you don't have to make in a power plant. Over time, that will add up.

I'm not sure what was so terrible in all that.

BTW, I disagree with Tom on a lot of issues, but he invariably argues from a rational, well-researched standpoint and rarely gets personal. I can't help but wonder sometimes if that's the very thing that seems to get people's goats...
