I think your enviromental sentance is a bit narrow. Setting aside areas is just part of overall environmental regulation. And while I agree that growing the economy and helping the enivronment are not mutually exclusive, I think that the area where the parties differ the most is whether enviromental regulation should take a back seat to economic growth. For instance, no one is really against hydrogen cars, but Democrats are in favor of more emisions controls on factorys, cars, etc. despite the fact that these may harm economic development.
Perhaps "Do you favor protecting the environment even when it may harm economic development and cost jobs."
