Hi-res map of CO2 emissions in the US


I found this on io9.com the awesome sci-fi blog, and here's the link to the article itself. The image pretty much speaks for itself though.

From the article: "To those who say, 'but China's the world's biggest emitter now!' fair enough.

Damn straight it's fair enough!!

With China adding the equivalent of France to its electrical grid every year -- 90% of it in coal -- talk about reducing global carbon emissions is just prattle.

America could go 100% carbon-neutral and, other than some warm & fuzzy feelings of responsibility, it would accomplish very little on a global scale. And the vaunted Hestia will ultimately demonstrate that.
