Never, you couldn't influence the US to do anything neither or the European countries according to Clod. I said they would be under the same restrictions as the US, which still isn't a lot.

I think there should be a more joint agreement with China to help stop their output as well.

The more expensive we make it for our industry to produce here at home the more likely companies will simply take that industry to countries which have no such restrictions.
Couldn't you just extend that to all American based companies? You could still easily get passed that but it would at least help a little. And other countries are starting to put tougher restrictions on environmental practices now that they realize that bad environmental practices by companies will greatly hurt them once the company leaves and forces them to clean up the company's mess.

I believe we need to continue on a course of trying hard to clean up our own country. We need a strong relook of the environment in this country ASAP post-Bush.
I agree with this 100% but doubt it will happen.
