...because Iceland is feeling the crunch of the Kyoto protocol in trying to expand its economy industrially. They want to cut down on CO2 emissions in things other than industrial output so that they can expand industrially and still maintain Kyoto standards.
So if I'm not mistaken the net impact on CO2 emissions is going to be the same as it is now. The CO2 will just come from a different source.
Those posts pointing out the world's dependency on fossil fuels are dead on. Ground and sea transportation are just one small part of the problem. Theres a lot more that needs to be addressed before any country in the world can get the "Oil Free" stamp.
