Currently CO2 injection wells are being used in parts of Canada, Wyoming and West Texas. They aren't as wide spread since there isn't a good supply of CO2 yet. BTW... this is not an uncommon feeling in the oil industry. If you libs think you'd hurt the oil industry with the Kyoto agreement, you forgot to think that these people are some of the greatest businessmen to ever walk the planet.

Everything must be normal when the USA, Russia, Canada and other countries are fighting over newly open shipping routes through the artic circle that were once blocked by ice.
Maybe the slowly shifting jet stream and rising ocean temps causing warm temp. in some areas and colder temps in other areas are normal also.

My Irish Automotive teacher tells the class all the time, all the big 3 (GM Dodge & Ford) are stopping any further V8 design this year, they are all going to turbocharged v6's. A part of me thinks he's a bit bitter towards American V8's, he's very Irish and just moved here. He says it's because they cannot meet MPG standards of 35 mpg which all vehicles will have to meet in the very near future for production? Anyone with any info on this.

A 1.5L Honda Fit econo box gets an avg of 35 mpg or so. It weighs in at a whopping 2400 lbs. It is going to be quite a stretch for car companies to meet the new MPG guidlines by 2020 or whenever it is. When you sell as many trucks as Ford and Chevy do that get 15 mpg, dragging down the avg, they better invest a lot more in electric and hydrogen.
In the past couple of years the EPA gas mileage estimates changed since they used ancient testing and technology to test vehicles; so most stickers now show a few mpg worse. The new estimates actually take load, hills, wind etc into account; therefore more like everyday driving.
