Going green is undoubtedly good for the environment (hence the title). But my point was to make people aware of the implications that a cap and trade would bring. (Obama is even aware the costs would be passed on to the taxpayers).

Let's think twice about regulation of greenhouse gases. Funding and encouraging cleaner forms of energy is undeniably good for the environment. But I don't feel it's necessary for the government to manipulate the supply to fit the country's demand for cleaner energy.

Maybe I don't know all the facts because you seem to be well read on the subject but our ozone is depleting and no, that does not necessarily prove causation for global warming but it does support the idea of CO2 deteriorating the ozone, reducing how much UV radiation is absorbed and filter, and therefore, potentially warming the Earth. I find it selfish that people don’t want to worry about global warming now because they don’t want to be bothered with the idea or costs of programs and bills being past to preserve the environment. I understand how Obama’s bill is asking possibly too much and the money involved should be lower due to our already problematic economy. However, I do feel that it is important for Obama and country should worry about because even if CO2 is not the cause of global warming, it is still harming our environment and ozone while we are unsure of the consequences of such detrimental effects.
