US Energy Secretary Steven Chu told BBC News yesterday that domestic political opposition will make it impossible for the US to cut greenhouse gas emissions as much as it should do.

“As someone very concerned about climate I want to be as aggressive as possible but I also want to get started. And if we say we want something much more aggressive on the early timescales that would draw considerable opposition and that would delay the process for several years”, he said.

So should we have carbon legislation in the U.S? This is what the experts at Power Across Texas think.

    So Mr Chu is wetting his panties over so called 'global warming' is he?....well there are intelligent Asians...and then there are slanty eyed idiots...Mr Chu needs to spend less time listening to anAL GOREtentive and more time studying long term weather trends like the Milankovich Cycles to keep from being labeled a complete buffoon...assuming it isn't already too late for that.
