The China throws environmentalists in jail. The very lax rules on Industries that dump untreated wastes into waterways and pollute the air with toxic smoke is no secret. This is State sponsored homocide on the citizens.
You words might hold some value if your own country at least cared about the environment. For a developed country, the US is horribly lacking in its environmental attitude.
Isn't Belgium phasing out nuclear energy, yet your energy demand has increased pretty steadily since 1990?

You are right. America does need to improve on it's own environmental record. We have to many politicians who are bought out by special interests.
The United States must lead the world in tackling climate change, if we are to make certain that this planet is habitable for our children and grandchildren. We must transform our energy system away from polluting fossil fuels, and towards energy efficiency and sustainability. Millions of homes and buildings need to be weatherized, and we need to greatly accelerate technological progress in wind and solar power generation.
Unless we take bold action to address climate change, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are going to look back on this period in history and ask a very simple question: Where were they? Why didn’t the United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth, lead the international community in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and preventing the devastating damage that the scientific community told us would surely come?
