A Green China
Here's the good news: China's leaders and business community know it. They know that as China grows more prosperous, and more Chinese buy homes and cars, it must urgently adopt green technologies; otherwise, it will destroy its environment and its people. Green technology will decide whether China continues on its current growth path or chokes itself to death. So green innovation is starting to mushroom in China.
And what's the U.S. doing as green technology is emerging as the most important industry of the 21st century? Let's see: the Bush team is telling our manufacturers they don't have to improve auto mileage standards or appliance efficiency, is looking to ease regulations on oil refiners and is rejecting a gas tax that would help shift America to hybrid vehicles.

Geesus. You guys really want to have European-like gas taxes??? So rising taxes helps build better world suddenly? Wake up. We Europeans aren't more green then you, whatever it in fact means. We are just way poorer. You, the most intelligent part of a great nation let yourself be deluded by this great fraud?
So rise your taxes for whatever noble reason u invent. Tommorow u will find once again that the money is lost and the world is how it was, not a bit greener then u thought. You only made a great deal of people poorer and a small bright group who is feeding you with this crap-thinking richer. That's the trick.
The problem is you like to think that big problems are solved on a big scale. Wrong. They are solved on a microscale only. Bigscale, nation-involving engineering doesn't work. Governments always waste and abuse money. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Haven't anyone read "Brave New World" for God's sake?
Sounds like a disingenuous rationalization for doing nothing. Do you work for an oil company or something?
And u suppose im gonna answer this question to somebody hiding behind "anonymous"??
So no arguments, only calling mine "disingenuous"?
