"No, I'm talking about sulfur, dirty stacks, dumping effluent into rivers and lakes--all the stuff that nobody likes. They needed to clean that up. They should have done it just because it's right" In retrospect this is easy to say, but any company incurring the costs to do this voluntarily/unilaterally would have been putting themselves out of business. As much as it pains me to say it, there is a role for government in regulating the use of the environment. Unfortunately, the pendulum swings to extremes. That's a problem. ARS
