Congressmen have long disagreed on global warming and the need for clean energy but the two sides of of the isle finally came together on legislation that will drastically reduce carbon emissions. The game-changer is actually the oldest form of energy used by man: wood-burning fire.
Greenpeace heavily advocating for the passing of this bill because when trees are grown sustainably and burned for heat, the process is carbon-neutral. "This is the cleanest form of energy we've got," says President Obama, "Forget windmills and solar cells, the people in the dark ages had it right. This bill is our first step to fighting climate change."
The new Clean Energy Act calls for phasing out of all electric power plants by 2020 and requirements for all new construction to contain fireplaces. The Department of Energy is also working on an efficient wood-burning engine for cars and long-lasting candles for indoor lighting. The EPA estimates that carbon emissions should decrease back to pre-industrialization levels by 2040 and that climate change will no longer be an issue.
Rumors on the Hill also indicate that bills for demilitarization and outlawing marriage are being negotiated.
Happy April 1st!
