Thanks.

Now lets argue about environmentalism!

Personally, I think if the intent was really to benefit the environment, policies would focus first on the low hanging fruit.  Canadian policy would be that everyone shuts the hell up about the rest until the residential building code is modified to require airtight vapour barriers and R-40 insulation.  Biofuels are ridiculous by comparison to the benefit that would bring. 

Unfortunately, the construction lobby is much stronger than the insulation manufacturing lobby, so no real changes will be effected.

I totally agree Reel and it`s not just because you`re a formidable debater.  The whole environmental debate/movement in the West is f*cked up. Here in the city of Edmonton, toxic waste is being dumped beside the North Saskatchewan River for $100/ton. Wonder how much they would charge to dump it right into the river??
