Lots of weird half baked recollections today. The U.S. political system moved effectively on acid rain, Congress (not regulators) passed NO2 legislation by a 401-21 vote that was signed by a Republican president. It created a market for pollution that largely solved the issue and is a legislative model for dealing with other pollutants.
- unholythree 9y agoI remember an article not long ago about anti-trust regulation being a victim of it's own success. I think the same is true of many environmental regulations, people vaugely recall an outcry over some environmental concerned and imagine it must have just been overblown since acid rain isn't falling all the time or no canals in their town are currently burning.
