- Go Nuclear – Per kilowatt-hour, a nuclear power plant emits 6 percent as much carbon as a plant fired by natural gas. (more here…)
- Live Urban – Cities are more energy-efficient than suburbs, exurbs, or rural communities.
- Crank the aircon – Cooling a home in Arizona produces 93 percent fewer CO2 emissions than warming a house in New England.
- Farm the Forests – Old trees are very bad for the planet.
- China is the Solution – Not the problem.
- Accept GM – Food production need to be optimised.
- Carbon Trading Doesn’t Work – It’s the environmental version of sub-prime lending
