That is a really good question in its own right.  It is easy for us to 
justify and rationalize just about anything we do.  And remember I spend 
much of my time pulling my home around the country.

I grew up in a make do or do without culture and I have lived that way most 
of the time.  I drive old cars and maintain them myself.  I like to grow at 
least some of my food and will be doing that when I find a place to park.

There are other things but I am pressed for time right now, I am about to 
use more hydrocarbons and create more pollution as I am leaving for Alabama 
tomorrow morning.  I will be doing Red Cross Disaster Relief for the next 
couple of weeks.

I just did some minor reading on the Kyoto Protocol.
Annex 1 countries, the nations required to cut energy usage. Oops! 
It's not energy usage it's greenhouse gases that must be cut... 
Neither China nor India are not grouped in with the Annex 1 nations.

At least as interesting is the list of List of Non-Annex I Parties to 
the Convention. The long list of nations that don't have to worry 
about using energy.

I'd like to invite you to take a look at these lists and see if you 
can see some agenda besides modifying the earth cycles.
