The US signed the Kyoto Protocol on November 12, 1998, but did not ratify it.
It would harm the economy too much, they would either have to;
- cut down on production to cut down on GHG's (green house gases) or
- purchase expensive equipment to filter the toxins,
so the government did not want to risk the harming of the fragile economy, and especially now they definitely could not do it, it would further destroy the economy then what it is already.
The US signed the Kyoto Protocol on 12 November 1998. It has not yet ratified it.
