Do you think that going green is necessary for an economy facing a recession?

Creating public transportation, refusing the drilling of oil in Alaska, banning the use of many plastics, styrofoams etc, building renewable energy sources. All of these (and many more) "solutions" to "global warming" are not cheap, costing our Nation billions. But hey, whats a few million when we are saving the planet from something that doesn't exist, right? Wrong. Recently, i was watching Planet Green, and i saw a commercial for 'Earth Watch' (something like that) which disputed the fact that the Obama administration is considering "taking a move from the Palin Playbook", and subsequently showed a clip of Sarah Palin saying 'Drill Baby Drill', afterwards saying that the Alaskan wildlife reserve is at risk while playing a clip of a bear aside a nice lake. I sat in shock of mere stupidity. Could there be any purer form of a biased media in our nation? For one, Obama wants our country to get out of a bad economic run, and what could acheive that easier than possibly lowering gas under one dollar? Secondly, the clip of the bear next to a wooded lake was certainly not from the Alaskan Wildlife reserve. Nothing more than a vast field of gr cover the reserve if not covered in snow. Also, need i remind many that a large scale oil well destroys about as much wildlife as an average sized house.
