Saving the Planet

(Fox News) - Predictions that Americans will have to radically alter their lifestyles in order to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions have been greatly exaggerated — according to a new report.

A business research group called The Conference Board says greenhouse gases can be cut by as much as half by 2030 — through the use of more efficient cars and appliances. It says about 80 percent of the reductions can be made using technologies already proven. The report recommends making appliances and buildings more energy efficient through things such as better heating and air conditioning — and the use of more insulation.
