Libs/kids ,,curb your rage. No one’s messing with the Polar bears or marsh rats. “OK”? Everyone wants clean air and water. That’s a given.
But what about the money grab and shutting down of businesses?
Aka,,employers being forced to go overseas?
How will these new restictions “stimulate” jobs?
go join texas
No I could care less. Its just a fraud the government is making up. NOthing is going to happen to us. Its going to cost more money to go green. Liberals that means more money out of your wallets DUH!
I purposefully go out of my way not to be green. I let my Escalade idle while I am in the welfare office picking up my check.

Its all a big marketing scam. I, too, am working hard to be extra wasteful and to pollute more to make up for those who have bought into this crap
Yes I do. I don’t have any rage, most people are doing something about it. After all, it is always better to have cleaner air and less garbage.
Sure businesses are shutting down and going overseas because of the restrictions put on them to go green. Get real this has way more to do with the economy and the current recession than going green. Besides that those restrictions focus mostly on the utility industry, about diversifying their energy Portfolio.
Your statement Libs/kids says it all. I am neither liberal or a kid but I can think for myself. I guess that makes one of us….
I do not give a damn about “going green.” It is all a power grab scam for the the politicians and their masters to get more of the “green” out of my wallet. It will do nothing to stimulate job growth.
well, even before going for green, some employer’s would still go over seas.
I have always felt that “green” on a product is code for “more expensive”. It’s just a popular buzzword.
I think “going green” is just planned obsolescence under another name.
Don’t get me wrong: of course I want the earth to be healthy and clean, just as everyone else does. However, lots of businesses could have done this sooner and with less expense. I think that doing it now is just a way to get more money and to gain popularity. “Going green” should have been done sooner, before so much damage was done.
its all a load of bollocks
the planet’s climate has changed several times before
and the ice caps were 20% bigger this year then they’ve ever been recoreded as before
No I do not. And global warming is a hoax. Here I am in Florida, middle of April and its friggin cold! Snowing in Colorado! Gore made a lot of money from the hoax though. How else can he keep up that hugh mansion? The electric bill must be thousands a month. Remember, this guy said he invented the internet too. What a joke!
I’ll be burning a few tires to celebrate Earth Day, so you know how I feel about bunny huggers.
I’d like to see us wean ourselves completely off foreign oil.
If we go green to a degree in the process, so be it.
We need to think greener. But Exxon and the long list of usual suspects always throw out the fear bait “If we go green, it’ll cost jobs.” Chumps take up the bait, and perpetuate it on the web and elsewhere, doing the bad guys’ work for them. And that’s just how the bad guys like to use people like you.
I always have cared.
And the “forced” to go overseas is a scare tactic. we already have been paying tax breaks to companies that go overseas, this won’t make it worse it’ll just give them something to whine about.
New jobs come from new products, kinda like when we did research for the space program in the sixties.
The less fuel we have to use, the less dependent we will be to the Oil Barrons, both here and abroad. That right there is enough to send some folks to worrying, those that want to keep America over the biggest, deepest barrel it can.
The Cap and Trade is nothing more than a tax hike. It is hidden in the Green agenda and will do nothing to help clean the air. Carbon Dioxide is a natural occurring gas, it is not a pollutant. Eliminating all man made CO2 will not have an effect on the climate, but the Billions of tax dollars generated in it’s name is like free money to congress.
Going green is a myth just like recycling, so no I really could care less about it.
I agree with you, if the companies are going overseas, where will the pollution go? It will still be there but not in our backyard, if we do our part to be “green” that is a person’s choice–a few lights here and there, smaller car, like that I have no problem but being forced to do something–buy a prius or some tiny electric car somehow rubs people the wrong way.
How come no one made a noise when Kennedy talked the talk–wind mills for energy but refused to have them placed in front of his beach front property? How about Gore? Going here and there on his huge jet to take the message of green house effects–it wastes so much energy and pollutes the air much more.
When the rich decide to live like the regular guy and they also follow their “rules” on air pollution than it will work
I don’t go overboard, but I try to do little things. I comply with NYC recycling laws, if the cost of a “green” product is not too far out of line with a normal one, I’ll buy it. We use compact fluorescent in lights that are not on a dimmer (especially ones that require a ladder to change). We will often use reusable bags when we go shopping they are also larger than the normal grocery bags so we can make fewer trips between car and house.) Are environmental changes natural and cyclical? Sure… But we, as people aren’t helping matters. Little efforts made by all will make a difference. You don’t have bicycle from NY to FL for your trip to Disney, just make small changes.
The west need water for it’s cities/crops. Fires year round in the west. Threat of draught. Two mini wars. Strip mining. Thirst of corporate america for cheap labor. Banks use to pay interest. In essence jim crow laws. Clergy *** preditors. War on povety/drugs/crime/ and now living in the cities fines fines and unemployment. Green make sense.
