Why don't republicans want a healthy pristine enviroment?

Question

why let the world be ruined? If a person is religous I would think taking care of the world god made for them would be even more importent then a non-religious person.

Answer 1

I do not think that one should single out republicans on the environment. The democratic party controlled the house and senate from the early 1960's until about 1986. Other than the Clean Air Act of 1970 nothing of any substance was done.
I would blame both parties equally; after all, the money to finance campaigns for incumbent congressmen come from the wealthy, who just coincidentally happen to often own or run big business. So no politician wants to bite the hand that feeds him. As long as big business keeps on making money and "buying" congress via "donations" I do not think we have a good chance at preserving the environment.
Why do politicians not want a pristine environment? There is no money in it for them!

Answer 2

companies need moderate management and the enviroment and public would be better served by a public oversight board who would publish problems and let the market deal with poluters. People do not want a poluted enviroment but we also are not going to worship it either nor are we willing to have our country and economy ruined because of the power plays of the eco groups that run the EPA. Pres. Ford was a fool for sanctioning that agency.

Answer 3

Just Republicans huh?

Ken Lay Bragged That Gore Had "Solicited" His Views On Global Warming.

"In an August 1997 memo by Mr. Lay to all Enron employees, the chairman said Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore had 'solicited' his view on how to address the issue of global warning 'in advance of a climate treaty to be negotiated at an internationalconference.' That memo said Mr. Clinton agreed a market-based solution, such as
emissions trading, was the answer to reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."(Jerry Seper, "Enron Gave Cash To Democrats, Sought Pact Help," The Washington Times,
January 16, 2002)

The Clinton-Gore Administration's Global Warming Agreement Would Have Helped Enron.

"The Clinton administration's interest in an international agreement to combat global warming also dovetailed with Enron's business plans. Enron officials envisioned the company at the center of a new trading system,in which industries worldwide could buy and sell credits to emit carbon dioxide as
part of a strategy to reduce greenhouse gases. Such a system would curtail the use of inefficient coal-fired power plants that emitted large amounts of carbon dioxide,while encouraging new investments in gas-fired plants and pipelines -- precisely Enron'sline of business." (Dan Morgan, "Enron Also Courted Democrats,"
The Washington Post, January 13, 2002)

Answer 4

i'm a republican it really is in touch about the ambience. I frequently accept as true with the info for international warming, yet i'm no longer confident signing Kyoto might want to sparkling up it or perhaps help. So for this reason i'm branded as anti-ecosystem, grasping, and so on, and so on. Kyoto grow to be a sense good degree that no us of a who signed it is going to truly stay as a lot as (so some distance maximum are failing)-nor did the politicians who crafted it actually count number on it. What human beings do not see is that it grow to be meant to save politicians in power the position the golf eco-friendly flow grow to be maximum excellent. what's mandatory is considerate action, no longer panic. India and China will presently grow to be some distance more effective manufacturers of greenhouse gas than the different us of a. we opt to verify out a fashion to sparkling up this difficulty without resorting to economic punishment. the extreme environmentalists are on the verge of driving more effective human beings faraway from challenge about international warming and environmental concerns than in course of it. the terror mongering isn't depending in technological information- the clinical consensus isn't almost as extreme because the spin-medical doctors might want to have human beings have self assurance.

Answer 5

We do want a healthy environment. We just realize that most policies that so called environmentalist push won't help the environment but will ruin the economy.

Answer 6

If we had a cleaner environment, then we'd have clearer minds to think with and more energy to work against those policies that endanger our very lives.

Answer 7

You are right on that, I am pretty conservative but the idea that god created the earth for us to trash is pretty ignorant, However my opinion doesn't extend to global warming (which i don't believe in).

Answer 8

it has nothing to do with religion it has to do with that stuck called black gold (oil)
