This YouTube video shows some amazing footage of the Vulcan Project by Kevin Gurney at Purdue University. (More on The Energy Blog at http://thefraserdomain.typepad.com/energy/2008/04/study-develops.html).

I was struck by just how much CO2 is coming from the Eastern US compared even to high-emission places like the Bay Area and Los Angeles. My guess is that it is related to:

• More extreme weather (more heating needed in winter, and more cooling in summer)
  
• Higher population density
  
• More factories/industry
  
• Less efficient buildings???
  
• Less environmentally conscious behavior???

Check out where the gases stream off over the ocean also. In the east, they go toward the North Atlantic. I know I've read about how these are affecting the usual pattern of the Gulf Stream. In the west, they head downward toward Baja California. And there's a hot spot.... pretty close to New Orleans in the Gulf. Hmmmmmm.

I'd love to see this worldwide.
