<p>The UN demands that the US cut its CO2 emissions by 80%. Congress is debating Cap &amp; Trade legislation that will require the U.S. to cut its CO2 emissions by up to 80%. But few are asking, is it possible to cut CO2 emissions by 80%? Or by any meaningful amount? Carbon Folly examines each sector, from the Electric Sector to the Residential Sector, to determine whether proven technologies are available for cutting CO2 emissions. With America s population increasing 139* million people by 2050 there will be tremendous pressure for more electricity, more cars and more jobs. What are the consequences for American society if carbon regulations are established but CO2 emissions cannot be cut by any significant amount? Cap &amp; Trade could be the largest hidden tax increase in history. Will ENRON have merely been the tip of the iceberg? With CO2 emissions directly linked to economic growth, cutting CO2 emissons will result in economic decline. * Based on change from 2000 census. The change equals total US population in WWII.</p>

Carbon Folly describes the various proposals for cutting CO2 emissions. It provides Americans with the information they need to make a judgment about cap & trade legislation. Carbon Folly does not address global warming per se, but asks the question: Is it possible to cut CO2 emissions by 80%? The United Nations has declared that the United States and other developed countries must reduce their CO2 emissions 80% by 2050. Carbon Folly looks at each of the technologies being discussed for achieving this requirement, including nuclear, carbon capture and sequestration and conservation. The second edition is expanded and updated. It includes a discussion of the proposed Waxman-Markey cap & trade legislation, a review of the slippery slope that started with the 1990 Rio conference, and a description of the pipeline network needed to transport liquid CO2 from coal fired power plants. There are tables showing the source of CO2 emissions, the levels that must be attained to cut them by 80% and a map of the pipelines needed to transport over 30 million barrels of liquid CO2 each day to geologic formations that may be able to sequester CO2. Carbon Folly asks the question: What happens in a few years if cap & trade legislation is enacted and it is determined we are not able to drastically cut CO2 emissions?  Carbon Folly establishes that a combination of nuclear generated electricity and electric vehicles could achieve such an objective, but explores whether building over 300 nuclear power plants is feasible by 2050. Without nuclear power, electric vehicles do not significantly reduce CO2 emissions. But, what about wind, solar and other alternatives? Each is examined so Americans can make judgments about them in the context of cutting CO2 emissions.

<p>Reliability of our electricity supply is crucial. It is a national security issue.Imagine living without electricity during a blackout while sheltering-in-place during a pandemic. And we now know pandemics are a real threat.The electric grid is not only threatened by foreign adversaries, as the President’s executive order established, but also by ideologues who are manipulating grid operating procedures, which forces reliable baseload power plants to shut down.To guarantee the availability of electricity, only baseload power—using natural gas, coal-fired or nuclear power plants— can provide reliable supplies of electricity, day and night.The Looming Energy Crisis exposes how efforts to decarbonize our country by eliminating the use of fossil fuels is threatening the reliability of our grid and endangering every American.You will be shocked to learn how people are surreptitiously undermining the reliability of the grid.</p>
