TAT,

Life is toxic and inevitably fatal. US manufacturing and environmental regulations would make any health/environmental risks negligible. However, Made In China is another story in light of lunch boxes, toys, and doggie treats (I don't even what to know what they feed the pigs and shrimp that they export).

If there's a genuine energy crisis, then the US should do something to address it. Actually, they should have begun to do something 30 yrs ago, but better late than never.
