“{The Arizona senator promised to challenge China and India, two economic rivals who are fueling their challenge to U.S. market supremacy with heavily polluting fuels such as coal, gas and oil.”

Here’s a suggestion. If you’re serious about challenging China and India, propose legislation that imposes tariffs on all goods imported from nations using “heavily polluting fuels” and which have lax environmental standards in general. That’ll get their attention.

Ah, I knew you weren’t serious. We can’t do anything that complicates corporations’ search for the world’s cheapest labor and lowest environment standards as places to produce products to be sold in the USA.

Never in a million years would McCain or Congress punish these two nations. This is just so much bull
