Montreal Gazette reporter Lesley Chesterman sings the praises of poilane bread, baked in France, flown into Montreal once a week, and sold only at hoity department store Holt Renfrew for a mere $56 per loaf. Her husband calls her an idiot for eating such a ridiculously carbon-intensive food. I'm with the husband. Bake your own bread, Lesley!
Toshiba is testing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology at a coal plant 900 km southwest of Tokyo, but it's only capturing 10% of the emissions, they don't know how to store those emissions, it could cause earthquakes, it could increase fossil fuel use, the plant takes 40% more energy to run using CCS, and it costs 60% more. Wow, super idea, guys!
And a couple weeks late, the USPS announces 20% emissions reductions over 2007 by 2020, a reduction of over 1 million tons. They've already replaced over 6,500 vehicles with hybrids, four-cylinder and flex-fuel models thanks to the stimulus package.
