On the news this morning, in the UK, President Obama is cited as upping substantially the restrictions on powerhouse emissions.

The responders said that affected states would ignore the legislation and the devil take the hindmost.
Australia in many areas is the opposite situation where the government is ignoring, failing to support and generally running down renewable energy schemes despite hue and cry from the informed body of opinion there and as well, a sizeable proportion of the opposition.
