This is a major part of the wider issue. Regulatory bodies are financially incentivized to not work as intended. There needs to be a restructuring of the current incentives, so as to balance the priorities of the people and the planet.
Unfortunately, the rule makers are the profit takers, so don’t expect them to self regulate..
