All I can say is.. "Thank you Bush Administration".
This current administration isn't interested in anything unless the sale of oil is involved in some way, shape or form, or unless there's some way to make the wealthiest people in the US richer.
This current administration has no interest in the environment at all. Heck ! One of the first things that George W. did when he got into the White House was to begin procedures to reverse Bill Clinton's order that an area that an oil company wanted to drill in Alaska be considered a nature preserve and non-drillable.
Untill we get an administration change, the US unfortunately is NOT going to be environmentally friendly. Right now, the Oil industries and other big business like it are pretty much running the country.
Pray that we're able to kick the bums out durring the next elections.
