Doerr's crusade on global warming By Matt Marshall 06.1.07 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuXJFbJNltg> When John Doerr spoke at the Ted conference in March, he broke into tears at the end of a 20-minute talk about global warming. We heard from some participants that the speech was moving. The talk is on YouTube and is worth watching. Doerr summarizes what large companies like Wal-Mart can do, what governments can do (citing California's emission-capping legislation, but more, such as geothermal policy), what entrepreneurs can do (make "designer bugs" for biofuels, for example) and what citizens can do (sign up for carbon neutral programs, or otherwise help policy leaders). China will pump 22.9 gigatons of greenhouse emissions by 2050, up from 3.3 gigatons, which would be catastrophic. We can't tell them to stop, because we're emitting seven times what Chinese do on a per capital basis. In other words, we've got to start at home to take urgent measures, to set an example and start pushing urgent measures internationally.
Texas No. 1 producer of greenhouse gases Coal burners lead pack in study revealing wide gaps in states' emissions 01:15 AM CDT on Sunday, June 3, 2007 Associated Press http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/060307dnnatemissions.3c1df3a.html Here is some evidence of the damage that dirty coal power is doing and why. Be sure to look at the interactive chart. Texas and Alaska are really bad, but California, despite some progress, has a huge GHG footprint. There is a huge business opportunity here to replace dirty coal power plants, among the many other opportunities. Jim Caldwell, E3 Regenesis Solutions
