Modern European Coal Plant

CO₂  SO₂ and  NO_x  are three green house gases (GHG) emitted in the electric generating sector of the US economy; from internal combustion engines in the transportation sector and from chemical processes in the industrial sector. CO₂ emissions are a cause of global warming. SO₂ and NO_x emissions are causes of acid rain, smog and global warming.

I have written four papers/presentations on carbon emissions trading, carbon tax and the Kyoto Protocol. They are:

1. An Analysis of the Policies Required to Earn Carbon (CO₂) Emissions Credits When Generating Electricity at Wind Power Plants American Wind Energy Association, Washington, DC, WINDPOWER 2000, Palm Springs, CA., May 2, 2000.
2. The Effect That the Kyoto Protocol Will Have on the Cost of Wind Power in the Signatory Countries, Global WindPower 2002 Conference, European Wind Energy Association, American Wind Energy Association, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturer's Association. April 2-5, 2002, Paris, France
3. The Use of the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to Help Finance Wind Projects in Developing Countries,   Global WindPower 2004 Conference, 28-31 March 2004, Chicago, IL
4. Mandatory US Carbon Emissions Ceiling (Cap) Will Reduce the Cost Advantage of Fossil Electricity Over Wind Electrcity, WINDPOWER 2008 Conference & Exhibition 2008, June 1-4, Houston, TX
