Kyoto Made Simple

A new report from the National Environmental Trust argues the United
States can meet more than 50 percent of its Kyoto Protocol required greenhouse gas reductions through simple, low- or no-cost improvements in energy efficiency in electricity generation, transportation, and other fields. They recommend increasing such efficiencies as:

– coal and gas-fired power plants by 5-10 percent
– vehicle fuel economy by 10 percent
– replace 5 percent of gasoline-powered vehicles with alternative fuel vehicles
– aircraft fuel efficiency by 10 percent
– commercial/industrial lighting and cooling systems by 25 percent
– standards for new appliances
