Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. If you don't believe me email the IPCC in Switzerland and ask them to inform you of the science that proves that it is a pollutant.
Their reply will be that there is no science; the US EPA Clean Air Act decrees that it is a pollutant and that was confirmed by the US Supreme Court.
The law is an ass. CO2 isn't a pollutant so why do we need to get rid of it?
Why not spend the AGW squillions of dollars on recycling real pollution. The stuff that we humans discard.

Slasher - you are concentrating on the waste you see in the private sector - executives using private jets - and ignoring the greater waste in the public sector. Unless curbed, govt enterprises grow big and fat. Of course these extra employees are needed! Instead of spending money giving unecessary jobs to green-concious civil servants, why not spend the money on wind subsidies?
Changed my mind about the tax concessions. You can't have them. Any hint of tax concessions and it promptly becomes part of a tax concession industry. Everyone will start building wind farms anywhere at all just to get the concessions. You end up with a lot od dudd windfarms as they have in the UK..
