...through carbon capture and sequestration. Automobile emissions will be slashed through new designs, such as the "plug-in hybrid" technology, in which cars will be powered by a mix of gasoline and electricity and will be plugged into the wall socket for an overnight charge. Large industrial emitters like cement, steel and petrochemical factories will also have to capture their own carbon dioxide emissions as well. And our buildings will be greener too, with better insulation, and heating through solar power and low-emission electricity rather than home furnaces...

To be sure, rockets and mortars have fallen in the Green Zone, and at least three State Department employees have died in Iraq. But, according to embassy officials, diplomats in Iraq head for cement bunkers less often lately, thanks to a drop in violence around Baghdad and elsewhere in the country.
