California Dreaming (about green jobs)

So then perhaps you'd elaborate and explain to us how

fits in to this?

IMHO, there is a pendulum balance...a yin and a yang...to environment vs. economy.

We went way overboard in the 50's and 60's on the side of economic growth and paid the price. Smog, Love Canal, etc. Stiffer regulations were clearly required.

In the last 50 years we have made huge strides in cleaning up the air and the water, regulating toxic wast dumping, etc. Is there more we can do?

Sure there is, but we are reaching a point of diminishing returns. Minor percentile improvements cost more and more. IMHO the pendulum has swung past balance.

Obsessive/Excessive local regulations in a global economy CAN and WILL kill economic growth and jobs. It really is that simple.

I agree with this.

What a suprise - Darrin sees someone's argument and decides to make it his own.

Is that the best you have since you can't disagree with CC's post?

Why cant I disagree with CC's post?

I never said you couldn't. In fact I would expect nothing less from you.
