Brian, here is George W's environmental thoughts from his website. It looks like your assumptions are based on something other than what the candidate has said or done(probably 4.1 second sound bites). The problem we have when discussing environmentalism is exactly what you've outlined. Far too many people see the issue as a black and white "you win-I-lose" issue. You either believe in Global Warming or you don't, you either believe in business at the expense of the environment or you don't, etc. etc. That's the problem with people like Al Gore who are so completely controlled by environmental PAC dollars.

When dealing with the environment balanced ideas are what is needed, not extremist positions as described and outlined by Al Gore in his book "Earth in the Balance". But it's tough for you to understand that if you've never read his book.
