Ok,  there is still be a case for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide and
other gases such as sulphor dixoxide and oxide of nitrogen in to the
atmosphere,  moving to non polluting systems will benefit all of us my
making the air cleaner,  and less harmful.

In the long term this will reduce healthcare bills caused by illnesses
linked to pollution e.g asthma,  etc
