Conservatives need to stop saying regulation is a bad thing

I actually agree if they are trying to be accurate. Overregulation and poorly designed regulation (both of which we have) are bad things but regulation as a whole is not a bad thing.

Without regulation the corporate crooks would become permanent piggies at the trough and pollute the hell outn of us at the same time.

With any possible level of regulation you would still have "pigs at the trough" and pollution. In fact the pigs at the trough often are given the trough by government rules. This is not an argument against regulation, or even regulation in these specific areas merely a response to your specific statement.

Bush's deregulation on the environment is already having dastardly effects.

The Enron-Bushi deregulation of energy

There have been a number of things called "deregulation of energy". Most of them where no such thing. No actual major deregulation effort is commonly known as or even reasonably described as "The Enron-Bush deregulation".
