Comments on: India’s Persepctive on Development vs. Emissions http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4733 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:36:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: EDaniel http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4733&cpage=1#comment-11291 EDaniel Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:28:25 +0000 http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4733#comment-11291 I love this part: "The more significant their reductions of emissions, the lower the limit we would need to accept for our own." But, maybe the recent Financial Troubles will provide us the mostly factor of 18 or so and drop us to the India level. Then they'll be in real trouble. I also like this part: "If India's plans to expand its nuclear power generation are realized, we could eliminate 140 million tons of CO2 emissions annually -- and that alone constitutes virtually the entire European Union target for CO2 reductions under the Kyoto Protocol."
