Climate Change caused by Energy?

I think one of the major issues about energy consumption in today's society would have to be about the Climate Change, also known as Global Warming. Many environmental groups protest that it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the release of CO2 into the Earth's atmosphere. Some claim that the effects of Global Warming are part of the reasons for the increase in hurricane intensity in the recent years. Union of Concerned Scientists

Whether or not it is true or false, the U.S. Department of Energy is overseeing a program called "Climate VISION" to examine ways to reduce greenhouse gasses in a cost effective way. USDOE Climate Change

There are many types of alternative fuels that show signs of reduced greenhouse gas emissions, but often those fuels are expensive thus preventing major investments in such projects. Later this week, hopefully Friday, May 18, 2007, I will post about some of the alternative fuels with both the support and opposition to such fuels to illustrate how these controversies are somewhat played out.
