Consequently, there will be little, if any impact on the largest polluters, and a tremedous hit to the industry and economy of those trying the hardest to be clean and green. I think China and India's economies would collapse if the EPA enforced the same laws there as we have here. Maybe we should advocate for our EPA to take over the UN with our environmental laws and enforce them everywhere equally.

Agreed..unless they make an effort..there is little point banging the table....having said that, I would, ONE DAY, like to see us moving away from petrol and diesel to more environmentally friendly options..hopefully we wont need to run out of gas first before they do decide to take the big plunge!
