I almost agree with the "yes, until other countries are held to the same standards" selection (i.e. china and india) but i am not so obtuse as to say that we should all withdrawl from any effort to reduce pollution. The bottom line is that we should not do anything to hurt the american people/american economy and right now we are not in a place to be as "green" as europe. I have spent time in Belgium/Holland and they worship "going green" like Europeans used to worship the catholic church in the 11th century. They are motivated from a place of restricted natural resources as well as a lack of strong central government/cooperation between all the european countries. We are not burdened with that. while some states are more active with environmental regulations than other the EPA ensures at least a measure of consistency. We should meet whatever standards we need to meet but we should do it on our pace and our own schedule. I do think it is important to get that going fast though while the iron is still hot on environmental issues.
