I was recently discussing with someone the possibility of the government installing a cap-and-trade system on American companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I said that would be a baby step in the right direction, however I think we need a stricter solution, such as the development and eventually mandated uses of alternative energy (solar power, wind and tide energy, for example) instead. However, I was wondering if this is even applicable to the topic at hand? What processes exactly do happen within companies to emit so much greenhouse gas? And, could alternative energy even be substituted for the original methods of production?

My house has a fireplace which is approximately 13 years old. (the house is 13 years old). Anyway, when I build a fire in the fireplace there is smoke in the house. What could be wrong with it? Could it be clogged up or something. It is a Marco Fireplace. Thanks
How do I know if my chimney is clogged? And what do I do about it if it is? thanks

I thought they were going to make solar powered cars and solar power plants among other things. It was only nearly 10 years ago that solar power was the big thing. Just curious, why did it die out?
