I agree with Ben and gascort on this, also. Maybe as a nation, compared to others, but then we're quite a lot bigger than most, area-wise.
In fact,
NONE of our electricity generates CO2 around this part of the state, as it comes from all of the dams that makes all of the lakes that brings all of the fishermen to this area! Springfield generates its own, and it's dirty, though...
I don't remember where I saw it - within the last week - but the site said only about 50 percent of the electricity generated in the US is done in a manner that generates CO2. (Maybe T. Boone Picken's site or Rocky Mountain Institute's site???)
