The United States has led the way in cleaning up pollution for the last 50 years.
The air is cleaner than it was in the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's...and the more we advance technology the better we are getting at it.
Over the next few years the companies around the world will finally figure out a true "green" energy technology that can begin to replace fossil fuels.
I'm just against crooked people pushing for ways to make billions and billions of dollars off of the backs of poor people by penalizing all of us for using the technology that works TODAY.
Basically, there is NOTHING that you or I can do to change CO2 in the atmosphere. As I've pointed out a million times: the U.S. govt. spews more REAL pollution and CO2 in a day with the massive military than your country does in a year.
I'm not much different than you are. I want our technology to come up with clean "green" energy. I really would like it to happen today. I would also love to play with unicorns inside a rainbow. lol
It's coming. But to create "carbon taxes", "carbon credits" and tax gasoline at the pump to make it even more expensive...well, in the end that causes EVERYTHING to go up in price.
Does it hurt me? Not much. I have money.
The people it really hurts are the poor people. And the people who are just barely squeaking by trying to feed their families.
It's like our govt. is deliberately causing pain to people that is not necessary.
