Burning Oil And Gas Costs 56 Trillion A Year In The US Alone

http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/oil-gas-crude/461

Given the U.S.'s emissions of some 1,614 million metric tons, and using the $35/ton figure, that gives us a CO2 bill of about $56 trillion a year.

Now pay up anti-renewable fools.

Renewable energy is the only way. All other ways are suicide.

There are a lot more articles you can find on the Google.

I just searched for true cost of gasoline counting externalities, knowing Iraq was 7 trillion, and it is only a small fraction of the damage.
