I think the real elephant in the room here is that destroying the environment so that Americans can be better than everyone else shouldn't be any more okay than destroying the environment for the sake of personal profit.
Of course if your view is that current regulations fail to prevent the environment from being destroyed then this comment doesn't apply, but that's not how I'm interpreting what you're saying.
System is set up to hurt American business. Not to prevent pollution. Perhaps displace same pollution. Perhaps increase pollution elsewhere. Not to prevent pollution.
That is not a logical approach to the issue.
I agree what you describe is not a logical approach to the issue. My expectation is that this is not an accurate description of how the system works, but since I really know extremely little about how the regulations actually work I should probably step back from the debate at this point.
It is better to control production and find ways to make feasibly less pollution. How much pollution was staved off when coke batteries started recycling coke oven gas to run the process instead of burning it off into the air and using natural gas to fuel the operation?
This is why it's better to self-regulate.
Guess what happens if you don't?
You get harsher standards that dont take that stuff into account.
Blame management for being shit heads.
