Commodities, Cap and Trade and Natural Gas

Americans contribute 5 times or more pollution to the world per person than the emerging economies. The US can hardly expect others to pull back their fossil fuel energy output until the US cuts their own drastically and the only way to do that is with non fossil fuels, and that excludes natural gas. It may well be more expensive to produce wind and solar energy but in 20 years time the US would have little need to import fuel or to protect its supplies with expensive armies.
How about a little forethought for the grandchildren and less greed about wanting everything now.
