   Well if little UK can do a million acres it should be a breeze for the US.   
      
   Which was my point. Its not impossible at all. Nor is it silly. It is in   
   fact exactly what he EPA *should* have been doing rather than wetting   
   its pants over carbon dioxide. Those trees would have soaked up more   
   than all the windmills in texas.   
      
   Grants for new planting, fines for stripping. Then the US wouldn't need   
   Canadian lumber.   
   All too sensible for either party though.
