The U.S has been very reluctant to make major changes and I hope President Obama has the backbone needed to make a difference.

The U.S. uses more energy than any other country, even those with MUCH larger populations. To see a comparison of population sizes and energy use, check out the <a HREF="http://worldpopulationbalance.org/pop/energy/" rel="nofollow">Population and Energy Consumption page of World Population Balance</A>. Some details about <a HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/15/AR2006021502762.html" rel="nofollow">energy reduction efforts in Japan</A> were detailed in The Washington Post. Note that this was back in 2006, well before the big increases in the price of oil.

Other leading industrialized nations like Japan, Germany, France and the United kigdom should definitely follow suit. A great initiative to reduce the damage to the Ozone Layer.

But having more energy efficient appliances will help people make more earth-friendly choices. Ken, I couldn’t agree more.
