Where is your sarcasm tag? What they want industry to go back to is a level of energy use (carbon output) they had then. Mostly we are talking about energy production ie power plants. Our use is much higher now and climbing. The target date is 2012 so the retro-date in question would be ‘92 not the Reagan Era. My bad, I should have mentioned that.

In 1992, Gates Rubber plant was still operating in Denver.
In 1992, Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) was still operating in Pueblo Colorado.
From what I see with my own eyes, there isn’t much nasty polluting “industry” left in America.
Pollution? It will be very interesting to see how the Commie/Greenies try to spin the thick clouds that will be visible on televised imagery from the Bejing Olympics.
Communism and Capitalism... working together.
