We need something. Polluters should pay. Though I'm not a fan of cap and trade (pollution is pollution), it was better than the nothing we will have now. We all should be looking for ways to reduce pollution. A healthy environment means a healthy population and a healthy population means reduced health care cost. You are risking the health of everyone by cancelling the only program in place and, just as bad, protecting yourselves from any lawsuits resulting from your policy.
