Kyoto Protocol

From December 1 though 11, 1997, more than 160 nations met in Kyoto, Japan and negotiated the Kyoto Protocol, in which the developed nations would limit their greenhouse gas emissions to the levels emitted in 1990. According to the agreement, the United States would have to reduce their 1990 greenhouse gas levels by seven percent.

The U.S. House of Representatives Science Committee asked U.S. Department of Energy to analyze the Kyoto Protocol, and “focusing on U.S. energy use and prices and the economy in the 2008-2012 time frame.” The Committee specified that they consider several cases for energy-related carbon reductions in its analysis, with sensitivities evaluating some key uncertainties: U.S. economic growth, the cost and performance of energy-using technologies, and possible construction of new nuclear power plants.

The conclusions were that the Kyoto Protocol would be disastrous to the United States' Economy. Although the environmental objective appears to be admirable, the real goal was to have the developed countries provide funds to underdeveloped countries for their greenhouse emission rights. The Kyoto Protocol is simply a tax on developing countries to give the underdeveloped countries money and doesn't solve the environmental problem.

Rather than developing new tax codes and jobs for lawyers, both the energy and environmental crises are solved by commercializing Mirror Energy. The science and technology comes from the governments multi-billion dollar High-Energy Physics and Astrophysics research and development programs. The oil, coal, and natural gas will be used for making products to bring every country into the 21st century rather than burning them and destroying Earth's environment.

Using Mirror Energy, United States could meet the Kyoto Protocol. The United States' and European Union's Economies could each increase from $13 trillion to over $150 trillion within the next hundred year. In the next fifty years, the  World's Economy increase to over $360 trillion.
