The need to create cleaner burning fuels and a desire to incinerate garbage more cleanly have created jobs.
Hell, I've made bags of cash investing in better ways to dispose of garbage.

Increasing the cost of doing business does not make an economy stronger. You add to the cost of the goods and services directly and indirectly and claim it somehow is better that way for the economy?
If there was a law that all doors had to be 10 feet tall tomarrow, there would be people who would make money on that change but that does not make it a good law to pass.
Your argument makes absoultely no sense in terms of economic progress. By your logic we should keep adding more and more rules and regulations on everything and we will all be stinking rich when its over.
