Increasing demand for flat-screen TVs, according to estimates, could have a greater impact on global warming than the world's largest coal-fired power plants. Flat screen manufacturers use a greenhouse gas known as nitrogen trifluroide, and as these displays are becoming more and more popular, annual gas production has grown to about four thousand tons. Nitrogen trifluroid is the most dangerous global warming engine, for comparison, this gas is 17,000 times stronger than carbon dioxide.
