[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, passenger vehicles of all types make up only about 7% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. All residential energy use is something like 11%. So you can try all you want but the reality is that industry is responsible for almost all global emissions and you're just making your life harder to not even put a dent in this.[/quote] Renewables now account for a higher percentage of US energy than coal. That happened through millions of individuals making the decision to pay more to make it happen, not through legislation. This is true with many changes that take place in society, and it's a common error to think that individuals can't make a difference. In some cases, it's the only way change happens. One person at a time deciding they care more about the common good than about their own personal pleasure.[/quote]
