Ya know, that argument is just simply silly.  What industry?  The few that 
didn't leave and have already done off-shore for tax breaks in . . . CHINA?

Or do you mean that the poor babies will have to give their CEOs less than 
$40 million in bonuses so that they bring their factories up to date?

There are plants that have already done it.  An excellent example is the old 
LP pulp mill.  Emissions are almost zero and they are chlorine free.  They 
aren't out of business.  In fact, they sold the plant for a whole heck of a 
lot more money than they would have gotten for it if they had not been years 
ahead of the emission standards and chlorine free.

Take a look at the Toyota plants.  They moved TO the U.S. and their 
standards are far and away ahead of the Kyoto Accord standards.  I don't see 
them going out of business.

Those are the same old same old sorry arguments that have no basis in fact, 
only in fearmongering!
