Oh right. Well cap and trade is one of the worst solutions I've seen to the problem. So no. Not a fan.
Depends on how what "fuel" you talk about. You can make bio diesel from algae. Isn't that "renewable"?
Biodiesel isn't "oil" though, which is what brainiac mentioned. And I don't see the point of his map. Virgin forests are one thing, but deforestation is another completely. Oregon replants trees.
But it's not a "public cost". We have absolutely no idea what the "public cost" of pollution is. It's an excuse to increase revenue to the State of California.
Unlike people, virgin trees and experienced trees look very much the same. We've done quite a bit of reforesting.
You stick Fleshlights around little push-operated generators, and you'll get 5 good minutes of power every 6 hours.
