If you look at the recent (May 1, 2008 ?) edition of USA today, they have a story of/based on an article recently published in Geophysical Letters (here is the abstract:
http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2008/2007GL032887.shtml) about the CO2 emissions inventory. The big news is that China appears to have bumped the USA aside in terms of the biggest emitter of CO2 via burning fossil fuels. Actually, there is no pride in winning that award.....but, stuff happens.

We here at the Stranded Wind Initiative have a fairly simple rule in fitting with our bias for action - if we can't buy something off the shelf today it simply doesn't exist. We're not against research, mind you, but snake oil will never replace crude oil as an energy source and there is a great deal of that sort of thing in the market these days.

Today we set aside our bias for action and explore the far reaching proposals of Dr. Homer Wang, a thinker on the global scale who has inspired and guided portions of our real world work with wind to ammonia projects.
