No. I hate the way our govt. has turned out as far as human rights, military invasions, etc.
As for the govt. stepping in and doing something about the local environment. Yeah, the EPA did do a lot of good. The regulations they put in place back in the day cleaned up some local areas. (of course at the same time we were blowing shit up and driving tanks and dropping Napalm to completely deforest all of Vietnam...so which was better?)
Anyway, as I said...why isn't the govt. doing anything except coming up with money making schemes? "Carbon Credits"???
Really? The world is supposedly coming to an end and they come up with buying and selling "carbon credits"?
Why not simply mandating that all buildings...both residential and business be fitted with solar panels?
They could have used those couple of trillion dollars that was spent on bailout and "stimulus" and done that. Would have given a lot of people jobs and helped save the planet at the same time.
Guess there wasn't enough money in it for our crooked politicians. And more importantly...they don't consider it to be important enough.
That should tell us all something right there.
