    Actually Hydro DOES PRODUCE CO2... firstly the decay of vegetation in the
    area the dam floods, and secondly the decay of vegetation that settles in
    the catchment created from the feeder rivers. Some hydro-schemes will
    produce MORE CO2 over their lifetimes than others of curse depending on the
    inflow rates of biodegradeable material.

    PS Rather than waste $40 billion on missile defense that WON'T work I think
    Clinton should leave office committing the DOE to developing commercial
    fusion power in 20 years.
