Romney will properly balance environmental and business needs. Obama won't

Background, Context, and assumptions:

• In general we should treat the earth like a garden, not an untouched forest reserve. Of course a cost benefit analysis should be made for each decision. Of course organic gardening is a better model.

Reasons to agree:

1. American bankruptcy would be bad for the environment
2. Romney has said:  We have to balance environmental needs with business needs
3. If we don't care about how much our environmental programs cost, we will go bankrupt
4. Romney has said: we should provide multi-year lead times before companies must come into compliance with onerous new environmental regulations
5. The Keystone XL pipeline is tolerable for the environment
6. The XL pipeline is economically vital
7. Keystone XL will not appreciably add to global emissions
8. The XL pipeline will help with jobs.
