Republicans ready to sue the gov't for the environment!

Will wonders never cease? I am so happy to see some leading Republicans take up the cause of environmental protection, and this was a very impressive and passionate interview that had some memorable statements in it. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (CA) and Gov. Charlie Crist (FL) are coming on record saying that the gov't (including the Bush administration and the EPA) has been dragging their feet in giving stronger guidelines for greenhouse gas emission and they are not going to wait any longer....if the gov't will not be partners with them, they will SUE because they want their states, not the government (one state of Washington, DC) to be able to set stronger guidelines to protect the people of their state...and that will give the precedence to other states to do the same. 


Since both California and Florida are coastal states, and Florida is a peninsula, it is very important that they are able to shore up and protect their coastlines and do anything necessary to help the environment in general. Gov. Schwarzenegger talked about the prevalence of more forest fires and less water available now, and that the "Industrial Revolution" is over and the "Clean Green Revolution" is beginning! And Gov. Crist said that now there is "gold in 'green' opportunities" right now and that anyone who develops green technologies will be amply rewarded.

They are the most recent in proclaiming how urgent it is that we understand, beyond the hype that surrounds some of the talk of "global warming" (i.e. Al Gore and others that want to use this cause to their own ends), that there is a real opportunity that we have, as individuals, to make a difference now that will benefit future generations. It could be as simple as some of the tips that David Bach talks about in his newest book, "Go Green, Live Rich - 50 Simple Ways to Save the Earth (and Get Rich Trying)" - here is a short video that he has on You Tube now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylp6ftdM68I
