I would hazard a wild guess that those who are more environmentally aware stand to gain.
Yes, I think we should and could do a lot more to be more green. The problem is it's not as easy as waving a magic wand. You can't expect to just raise the costs of everything across the board overnight and think everything is going to turn out okay. You can't make a deal with China where we promise to reduce our carbon emissions by a shit ton by the year 2020 while China only has to promise to not produce as much carbon emissions starting in 2030.

I mean seriously; does Obama even know what the fuck he is doing? I know he had no clue what he was doing when he was first elected; everyone knew this, even those who voted for him. But the dude has had 6 years of on the job training. What has he been doing all that time?
