And those that move will be under way less regulation then they have here so pollution will increase big time over what it would have been if cap and trade never existed.
The more stranglehold put on us is the more business that China gets, and much more pollution. It was never about pollution, but always power, and control.
We allow them to strangle us by refusing to join the rest of the civilized world in an effort to pressure ALL economies to level the playing field with regard to environmental impact..
How are we supposed to look at China or India and say "Hey, guys, you really shouldn't be polluting like that" when we refuse to do anything about it ourselves???
We can't.. But if we did decide to do something about it -- something like Cap & Trade -- then perhaps we could speak with some credibility in helping to pressure China and India into curbing their environmental impact..
If they do, the cost of doing business in China and India is brought more in line with doing business in the US, which could actually go a long way toward getting a tourniquet on the hemorrhage of jobs we're losing to overseas competitors every single day.
As I said before, the ONLY other way to compete is to totally and completely deregulate everything and let corporate America decide what to do with their trash..
Do you guys really want that? Seriously?
What it all boils down to is this: Do we agree to hold ourselves to a higher standard and then pressure China and India and other heavily-polluting, developing economies to follow suit, or do we simply give up and drop ourselves down to to their level and submit to wallowing in the resulting surge of industrial filth and waste?
