Enviromental arguments annoy me very quickly. This is because almost any repeal of enviromental regulation is always deemed a "Crime Against Nature" or worse, while no one calls into question the effectiveness of the regulations. Did these regulations really help the enviroment? In what way? Is there sound scientific data that proves the regulations work? For any enviromental regulation we should have quantifiable data that measures the cost to the enviroment vs the cost of human resources. If the regs are disproportionately detrimental to the humans that struggle behind them, compared the their enviromental benifit then they should be repealed.
Its just too damn easy for a politician to demonize another over enviromental issues.
