Unlike many conservatives, I believe that we haven't done enough to ensure clean air and clean water in this country.

Just how much are you willing to pay for a loaf of bread or a potato before you start screaming about the food prices?

This rule will simply add costs to food production, and the consumer will pay those costs.

Clean or dirty -- there isn't much nutrition in a breath of air or glass of water.

Projected costs - $.04 per gallon. Current taxes on that gallon of gas $.40+.

This may in fact lead to slightly increased prices, however your argument is an order of magnitude out of context with the impact of current taxes - and most can still afford a loaf of bread...
