  McCain "What the Hull"

  Double hulls would be great on all tankers, but the question is should government regulate this.  Imagine instead a system where businesses were encouraged toward green activities by government and incentivized by harsh (costly), fast and decisive rulings in the event that they pollute and are sued.  I believe that this is less of a fantasy than dreaming about a bloated government efficiently and impartially regulating industry in the U.S. and this industry remaining competitive.  Read the journalism of David Heath out of Washington State to get an idea of how effectively your "representatives" use your tax dollars.

  Ideally a CFO would see that it was worth paying for the double hulls now and avoiding costly rulings in the future.  This philosophy has the added benefit of minimizing government and keeping tax dollars in the pockets of hardworking Americans (many of whom care about green issues).
