You do also have a point here. What is the worst kind of situation  
though, emissions from a single point like a power station, or every  
house for instance like the olden days with wood fired heating /  
stoves ?. I love the old wood fired stoves though, my mother grew up  
with one and I managed to see one again when I went to a remote part  
of Estonia a few years ago :D

Would wood fired boilers be counted as "extra GH gasses". One or two  
homes dotted around the place may be ok, but imagine condensed usage.  
So carbon utility power is the cause and effect from  societies  
building up condensed cities and population growth. Leaving not much  
area for people to generate their own unless lots were allocated for  
such tasks, aswell as growing food for the suburb heh.
