Mencius said:
"A master has a worry that is concerned with his whole life.
But, a master has no worry that is concerned with a temporary or sudden trouble in his daily life."
CHAPTER I: Energy Efficiency
The U.S. and China are G2 that use fuels, namely coal and oil, to generate electricity more than other advanced countries.
Input Heat Amount for Electricity Generation (the smaller, the better):
JAPAN:...100
UK:...99
North Europe:...104
USA:...114
Germany:...111
France:...103
China:...145
India:...137
(INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON OF FOSSIL POWER EFFICIENCY, 2007)
Chins emits CO2 more than the U.S. in its industrial sector. Accordingly, the U.S. and China are G2 that emits heat-trapping gases more than other advanced countries.
CO2 Emission per Unit of Output in the Power Industry on Generation (the smaller, the better):
JAPAN:...100
France:...16
Canada:...50
Italy:...116
Germany:...126
UK:...118
USA:...150
(Energy Balances of OECD Countries, 2004-2005)
In summary, it is absurd that the U.K. and other European nations apply pressure to Japan so that Japan will reduce an amount of oil fuel and emission of CO2, while selfishly proud G2, namely the U.S. and China, are consuming coal and oil as much as they like so as to emit CO2 as much as they like.
Note also that electricity generated from nuclear power plants accounts for 80% of total electric power distributed in France. However, it is potentially hazardous to the environment, especially, in the long run.

Mar 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
Mar 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
Mar 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
