Setting goals 40 years away will achieve nothing, except hollow glory. The United States will likely block any effort to set any kind of time table, so the U.S. should simply be ignored, including any attempts to negotiate any delays and inaction, which the U.S. has sponsored for the past 16+ years. No new coal-fired power plants (use PV, solar thermal, wind, and SHEC Labs' technology for H2 production for overnight energy), Tax new SUVs to provide funds for new, efficient auto (hybrids, etc...) subsidies, Build more railroads, Buy local produce (www.localharvest.org), use a clothesline, use a rake and a reel lawnmower for the lawn care, .... CO2 is at 385 ppm, and climbing rapidly. Nobody really knows what this will do to our climate system. Time is running short. All the best!
