> Do you suppose market forces could have gotten rid of lead in paint or gasoline if regulations hadn't? Yes. Consider how cars have become incredibly safe over the years. Is this because the government writes good regulations? No. It is because IIHS (and the government, as well) do crash tests and publish the results. Consumers gravitate towards cars that have top safety ratings. Ironically, the government is why leaded gasoline still exists at all.
