Their spokesmen argue that, if implemented with careful planning, the transition to a chlorine-free economy could save money, create new jobs, and be "economically and socially just." Greenpeace puts the savings from phasing-out chlorine at $80 to $160 billion annually. The phase out of chlorine would take place over a 30-year period ...

Cold fusion energy development, however, will dominantly be the territory for ...
