I would put it this way.
1) America has done almost nothing for the environment.
2) America should do almost nothing for the environment. Things like global warming are inherently unavoidable even if the US were to suddenly vanish from the face of the earth.
The world wants cheap energy too much, hell the world NEEDS cheap energy too much.
Take care of the local enviroment? Sure. Anything like global warming that requires a world joint effort? All you are doing is giving up economic growth for a vague sense of false satisifaction with zero actual benefit to the enviorment, since it's been shown that any hydrocarbons we don't burn... someone else will.
