Blame coal: Texas leads carbon emissions - Yahoo! News: "The disparity in carbon dioxide emissions is one of the reasons there is no strong national effort to reduce global warming gases, some experts say. National emissions dipped ever so slightly last year, but that was mostly because of mild weather, according to the Energy Department.
'Some states are benefiting from both cheap electricity while polluting the planet and make all the rest of us suffer the consequences of global warming,' said Frank O'Donnell, director of the Washington environmental group Clean Air Watch. 'I don't think that's fair at all.'
He noted that the states putting out the most carbon dioxide are doing the least to control it, except for California.
Several federal and state officials say it's unfair and nonsensical to examine individual states' contribution to what is a global problem."
