But, this is one of those things where the White House needed to send a bill to Congress, not the other way around.

I wish Obama would have done more environmental regulations, including trade restrictions with certain countries if they don't match our level of technology, or aren't willing to buy technology from Europe or the US/Canada. And, I'm not talking about CO2 emissions, although those would improve as well.
