I am a native Carolinian, who is concerned with our environment and conservation of natural resources, also. There is one factor, not unlike Mountaintop coal mining that has my attention. It involves the careless devastation of it by constuction of strip office complexes, apartment communities where the trees and natural elements of theland is leveled to accomodate space for parkinglots and buildings. It's a shame that this is concidered nessesary as a cost of development of southern cities like Charlotte, I need to know whether or not the same corporations that fund coal mining are funding these builders, Too?

Most scientists are saying it needs to be done in 20 years. His proposal will be too little too late. Edwards proposes reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.
