US high court mulls greenhouse gas limits
Personally, I'd keep investing in tech and methods to convert co2 into other elements.

The US government defended its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants before the Supreme Court on Monday, after coming under attack from industry and Republicans alike.
The top court is not expected to rule until June on the policy, which requires new power plants, factories and other stationary industrial sites to use the latest energy-efficient technologies.
Republicans and energy interests argue that the rules, which have been adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency, are bad for the economy and possibly illegal.
But President Barack Obama's administration says the changes are necessary to combat global warming and are a centerpiece of US efforts to reduce air pollution.
"This is an urgent environmental problem and this is one that gets worse with time," argued Donald Verrilli, a lawyer for the Obama administration.
