Presidents......what are those?

If Newt Gingrich is elected president, he has the potential to effect my project. He has been known to fight against the cap and trade policy, whose goals try to limit the amount of greenhouse gasses in the air. Since my project is dealing with limiting the amount greenhouse gasses, it would greatly hurt my idea if he was elected. So unless he has changed his stance over the election period (which isn't surprising for a presidential candidate), he could possibly go against my idea.
