I'm not suggesting that there should be no environmental protection, but there needs to be a balance that will support robust economic growth, while preserving the environment the best we can...
like i said, companies who are spending money moving towards less emissions, less waste, etc should get a tax break, not increase. yeah, there has to be a balance but as time goes on we should be moving towards more "green' technology rather than sitting still or going backwards.
