Ok - the regulation argument. Picture a bell curve. Put regulation amount on the X axis and benefits on the Y axis. I submit to you that as regulation (regulation of all types) initially increases benefits initially increase. I further submit to you that at some point as one moves out the X axis the amount of benefits eventually turns down as regulations get excessive and stifle economic activity. Those wanting to justify more regulation always point to places like China that is not very far out on the regulatory curve. I submit that places like California have gone past the point where more regulation is better. Take away the prosperous coast and Ca is in sad a sorry shape. Look at Tesla's search for a battery manufacturing site (and yes - I saw some Ca politician saying they were going convince Tesla of the benefits of building the factory in Ca.). Please do not use the China pollution argument to avoid the issue of over regulation in the US. Bob PS: I live in Cuyahoga County. Trust me - the air is fine here by any reasonable measure.
