Hey, Bush's greatest environmental accomplishments haven't been listed!

First and foremost, Bush got the House of Saud to raise their carbon tax on oil by $100 a barrel, so far, and has created the market conditions to ensure they are able to make that carbon tax stick. And Chavez, Iran, Sudan, Russia, and many other dictatorship and terrorist regimes have followed the Bush and Saudi lead.

Bush has been less successful in stopping all nuclear power generation, but that seems to be because he's got some powerful lobbiest who are seeking corporate welfare to prop up their unprofitable industries. But look at all the nations that Bush has attacked as evil for following the earlier US example of developing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

But for the $100 a barrel carbon tax, I think Bush should get the Nobel environment prize. Bush has accomplished more than Nixon, and like Nixon being the Republican to go to China, Bush is the Republican to implement the $100 carbon tax.
