we are doing a pretty good job on pollution here. The Europeans are not as good, but not bad.

It is not the only way, but the best way to lead is by example.

Setting a good example is not only a goody goody two shoe thing, it also has enormous benefits.

If we cut down our dependence on the use of oil, use what we have to more efficiently, and finding alternatively cleaner sources of energy (we have to do this anyway - oil will run out relatively shortly) we lower the price of oil. Iranians and others financing terror will have less money to do so.

It is a win/win situation for us to be ahead of the curve - to be the real good guys. It pays - IMO.
