KEY QUOTES
21 January, 2004
"Carbon dioxide, the inescapable by-product of burning fossil fuels, is beneficial to plant and human life alike. The effort to regulate it as a greenhouse gas is an attempt to tax energy. Losing fuel diversity can only be harmful to our economy and ultimately the environment itself."
