I didnt have any problem with forcing industries from dumping their toxic sludge into the nearest lake...or agri-business disposing of their feed lot runoff into the nearest river or stream...they bitched and moaned..and then complied and their bottom line did not suffer measurably.
And now I dont have any problem with forcing utlities or any heavy industry from continuing to spew tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
It wont save the planet...it will make it more breathable for many....and contrary to free market thinking, there is little incentive to do it voluntarily and it certainly wouldnt be done faster as suggested in earlier posts.
