&quot;Unfortunately people believe too much that &quot;we can maintain our lifestyle without breaking the emission limits that we set&quot;, and the truth has to be reminded: We can&#x27;t.&quot;<p>Sure we can. It&#x27;s called nuclear power. Too bad we&#x27;re not allowed to use it.<p>&quot;US people have a difficulty understanding this, &quot;<p>Europeans have difficulty understanding the size of the United States. Oregon, a medium-sized state, is larger than the UK. Texas is larger than France. Alaska is larger than all of Western Europe.<p>Canadians use even more fossil fuels than Americans, and for the same reason. It&#x27;s a really, really big country.<p>It has nothing to do with &quot;cities&quot;. Our cities are reasonably high in density already, and the high density cities do have public transportation.<p>We just have a lot of people who don&#x27;t live in cities, and we like it that way just fine.
