"The environment, I suspect, is going to take something of a backstroke (in a Perot duo) until the economy recovers.

Bush favors compromises
By Lynne McAdoo
Kansan staff writer
President George Bush thinks that policy should be a compromise of environment and economics.
"It is based on the knowledge that successful economic development and environmental protection go hand in hand," he said in 1988. "You can't have one without the other."
An application of Bush's philosophy is found in the Clean Air Act of 1990. One of the provisions is a system that allows companies to trade sulfur dioxide emissions credits. A company may trade its credits if it does not need them or may solicit credits from other companies. But the total amount of pollution must remain constant.
"It's using a free-market approach to say we know how much we want to
pollute in total," said Steve Hamburg, director and associate director of environmental studies.
Some environmental watchers think that the private businesses are sticking their heads in the sand.
"They like to pretend they are not on the same planet," said Nancy Wolf, executive director of the Environmental Action Coalition. "They put their short-term, financial goals ahead of the air they breathe."
A firm opponent of too much regulation, Bush does not support a global policy on greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. He thinks each country should develop its own plan and time table when dealing with the emissions.
After Bush environmental stances:
Bush accelerated the deadline in the United States for the elimination of ozone-depleting substances to
1995, four years ahead of schedule.
Bush has added over 1.5 million new acres to national parks, forests and wildlife refuges.
In the president's fiscal year 1993 budget, environmental investment was increased by $3.2 billion.
Vice president Dan Quayle often is seen as an enemy of the environment because he usually supports business interests, such as trying to work around some of the smog regulations in the Clean Air Act. But Hamburg thinks that whatever the environment policies are, they both will harm and help the economy.
"Anyone can give you lots of examples of how environmental regulations cost jobs and how environmental regulations create jobs, so both Quayle and Gore are right," Hamburg said.
