Comments on: Texas Is No. 1 Carbon Polluter In U.S.

Everything's Bigger In Texas, Including Vehicles, Which Are Leaving A Big Carbon Footprint

What else would one expect with George at the helm. They''re probably printing up T-shirts saying "We''re number one"

Clear proof that a Texas mindset on "big" includes huge mistakes.

Well what the hell do you expect from the place that gave us Chimpy the imbecile.

Texans can live in such a wasteful lifestyle because their mortgages and rents are dirt cheap. Over there a $400,000 house is something to behold. Even with prices down you could not find a tool shed for that price in the S.F. Bay area!

Imagine my surprise...

Texas is truly one of the worst places I had ever been to. What an ugly wasteland it is. Perhaps that''s why they have no respect for the environment. When I was there, I could not believe how many people I saw littering. I was really disappointed that Texas struck me as nothing more than a polluted, trash-laden dump. It''s just too bad everyone else is having to pay for their lack of concern (or is it also a lack of intelligence?), because Texas pollution doesn''t just stay in Texas.

Well breathing is overrated anyway.

Anyone have the balls to blame this one on Clinton ???

One part ignorance, one part denial and two parts greed equal a recipe for disaster as the Bush Administration rolls back the Clean Air Act and lets industry build and improve plants without upgrading pollution control equipment. As this disaster unfolds, the spotlight should be on Texas, the state responsible for two-thirds of U.S. petrochemical production. Here, for a long time, the industry has used our air and water as a dumping ground without knowing or wanting to know how much toxic pollution the refineries and plants spew out each day. A weaker Clean Air Act means Texas industry stands to reap financial savings for not installing pollution control devices. Left to live with the illness and health care costs are the communities and families that cannot escape the health effects of the pollution.

Get the facts: Carbon is not a pollutant, at least as far as carbon dioxide is concerned. So who cares?
