U.S. Greenhouse Gases Rise

WASHINGTON —

Emissions of gases blamed for warming the atmosphere grew by 2 percent in the United States last year, the Energy Department reported Monday.

Under the Bush Administration, the United States has focused on voluntary efforts and bilateral and regional arrangements to combat climate change while devoting about $3 billion a year in government funds to research and development of energy-saving technologies. One of those programs includes contributing seed money to companies that can export U.S. technology for reusing methane, the second biggest greenhouse gas.

Hey how bout providing more incentives for individuals willing to implement renewable energy.Don't want to be a part of Kyoto? That is fine but throwing $3 billion, pocket change compared to the BILLIONS being thrown at a war, does not amount to jack shit.
