Should the United States government require citizens and private industry to further “green up” or else?
According to the National Geographic article "After Oil; Powering the
Future", sweeping change in energy conservation won’t happen until our government mandates it. Some mandates exist at federal and state levels but most are minimal and many are meant to appease environmentalist without interfering with "dirty energy" profits. Should the United States government require citizens and private industry to further "green up" or else?
The USA is already the greenest nation on earth. Do you know that the air coming into California from the Pacific is why the state can never meet the EPA clean air standards. The air leaving the US for Europe is cleaner than that leaving Europe for Asia. So the US is already walking the walk and per capita is the lowest polluting nation on the face oft the earth. It should be when is the rest of the world going to catch up. If we could replace every coal fired power plant with nuclear plants we would be below even the strictest air quality standards. You can thank your local environmentalist green freaks and their energy company funded pogrom against nuclear power for the small amount of pollution we still have.
NO until every one is onboard the public should not shoulder the burden alone. they can force us to go green at a higher cost to us and they still do boss as always. solar energy is the greatest free resource and no one has done it due to not a high profit
No we shouldn’t, we should encourage it and educate people but government mandates NO
Oh yeah and start education process with the guy who answered the United States is already the greenest nation.
I love it here, I fought for her, and am proud even with all her faults BUT COME ON
The US is the greenest nation?!? Yeah in BIZARRO WORLD
