Emissions of Carbon Dioxide Hit Record in 2011, Researchers Say - NYTimes.com

Isn't it most in the public interest to insure that whatever is done with Obey Creek contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide? This is from the EPA: "The combustion of fossil fuels. such as gasoline and diesel to transport people and goods is the second largest source of CO₂ emissions, accounting for about 31% of total U.S. CO₂ emissions and 26% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. This category includes transportation sources such as highway vehicles, air travel, marine transportation, and rail."
This would include both the construction and the operation of anything constructed there, AND upfront consideration of how much the project would add to CO2 emissions through vehicular traffic.
