there are ways to reduce and there are ways to reduce.
Market forces can work the same way metal garbage cans have been replaced by lighter better plastic cans.

So far, I have seen everything but market forces meddling in GW nonsense. The latest (so-called) "market based" cap and trade programs are a scam designed by the Milken-boys that will result in huge wealth redistribution and enriching the traders. Thompson seems to be for a huge technology transfer to developing nations--market forces? How much will the U.S. taxpayer be asked to subsidize that folly? And those pushing for a huge government funded R&D program and public-private partnerships to create their carbonless utopia are a bunch of fascists.
Conservation? Sure! Private investment in sound technologies, absolutely. So far, I have seen very little of either.
