Recycling has minimal environmental benefits.  Managing solid waste is way down the list of environmental problems. 
Controlling CO2 in the atmosphere is at the top, by a lot.
We need to be switching to low carbon sources of energy.  Changing 85 cars to electric is small potatoes.  We need to be changing our electric utilities, that's the main problem.

On a serious note - I'm actually all for reducing reliance on fossil fuels. I have solar panels that generate nearly 100% of my electricity needs, and what I need from the grid comes 100% from solar power.  But this whole argument is flawed.  It's not a one or the other proposition, it's an all or all proposition that we need.  Keep America energy independent and never import oil again.  Stop importing wind turbines and solar panels from foreign countries like China.  

There are lots of issues that could be addressed in a bi-partisan manner, but no one is willing to compromise and make common sense decisions.
