One exciting result is that we are consuming more than 5% less oil in ‘08 and thus carbon emissions are poised to fall 2.5% this year. See details at:<BR/>http://setenergy.org/2008/11/13/a-banner-year-for-us-climate-research-sees-sharp-emissions-drop/<BR/><BR/>Even China emissions are falling this quarter as electricity consumption falls a record in November. See details at: http://setenergy.org/2008/12/05/china-power-generation-falls-record-amount-climate-hope-alive/<BR/><BR/>The real challenge will be how we continue emissions reduction once the economy picks up again.<BR/><BR/>If you find the SET daily blog on major energy and climate developments useful at http://www.setenergy.org , please consider adding it to your blogroll.<BR/><BR/>Onwards to sustainability,<BR/>DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
