Well, I was TOTALLY wrong.  My uneducated educated guess was that the US was going to be pretty green in comparison to other countries.  My logic:  although I know the US uses the bulk of all the energy produced on this planet, I was thinking that, as a first-world country, the US has more advanced pollution-control technology in place and stricter regulations, making us greener. 

How wrong I was!  You learn something new every day. 

In a related topic, it pisses me off how far behind we are in renewable energy and conservation.  I was a young and impressionable kid when the big "Ecology" movement was taking place in the early 1970's.  If we as a country had taken serious governmental action back then, we could have been forty years ahead of where we are know. 

Remember these?  They had a HUGE impact on me as a kid.

Yes, the ecology movement influenced me too.
