All this is true, but I also see how things could change in the near future. We as a nation are becoming more "green-aware" and people are careful about who/where they get their products from. The whole R2 project is growing as awareness grows, and it is not implausable to think that with a little enlightenment people will choose not to do business with non-green companies that export. My suggestion earlier wasnt all tongue-in-cheek. However, there is a huge downside to this in regards to gov regulation and oversight which usually follows.
