If a corporation doesn't like the regulations, then move to China and contribute to the swill toxic water and air over there. Plus you don't have to pay the workers much of anything. Its a win win. I surely won't sit here and yearn for them to stay if they aren't willing to sacrifice a tiny tiny portion of profit to do things the right way. It is easily possible to have a clean environment and profitable businesses.
Cleaner than its been in the last 100 years?
No wonder conservatives want to abolish the EPA

Yes, because we crave polluted air and water!!!!

Only you are saying regulate into bankruptcy.I know this will drive the environmental wackos. "How dare anyone claim the environment is clean!"

Michigan's Environment is Cleaner Than it's Been in More Than 100 Years
Disease, contamination and pollutants are mostly in the past while
Many people view the relationship between humans and nature as a zero-sum game: Our progress comes at the direct expense of the environment. Actually, that’s not the case.
Recently, we’ve been able to dramatically improve our standard of living while simultaneously leaving behind a cleaner environment. In fact, Michigan’s environment is arguably cleaner than it has been in more than 100 years.
Consider how clean our drinking water has become. In the early 20th century, waterborne infectious diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid were leading causes of death, and typhoid epidemics annually sickened thousands in American cities. With technological leaps in filtration – now to the level of filtering microbes and chemical compounds, disinfection and water analysis – these waterborne illnesses have been practically eradicated in Michigan and the United States.
The water in our rivers, lakes and streams is also less contaminated than it used to be. Treated wastewater and storm water contain significantly lower levels of contaminants, as technology and control systems have advanced. Some wastewater treatment plants in Michigan discharge water of higher quality than their receiving streams. For example, the PARCC Side Clean Water Plant in Plainfield, Michigan discharges four million gallons of water per day into the Grand River that is of better quality than the river’s water. Other Michigan treatment plants can also produce effluents better than river water much of the time.
Wildlife habitats are improving, too. In a 2010 Detroit News article, Jim Lynch chronicled the repopulation of wildlife around Detroit, writing, “After decades of struggling to overcome the Detroit River’s polluted past, a variety of fish and bird species have re-established themselves ... [t]he budding osprey population is joined by increasing numbers of walleye, lake sturgeon and whitefish as well as bird species like the bald eagle and peregrine falcon.”
Ours is. China's isn't.
Watching people strive to be like China where they work for 50cents (USD) and hour in order to stay competitive globally and watching them have "Smog days" out of school should teach the weak minded, but.....
So those all the only two alternatives: regulate ourselves into bankruptcy or turn into China?
Do you turds understand why no one pays attention to your idiocies any longer?
Everyone else appears to understand the subject, while you have not a clue.
A robust economy and a clean, healthy environment are both possible.
OF course the environmental wacko fascists are never going to admit they intend to regulate this country into bankruptcy, but when we look at the regulations Obama has implemented, that's the only conclusion we can reasonably make.
We already have a clean environment. Any further regulations can only have the intent of destroying the economy.
Wonder how many besides you have fallen for the OP's misdirection. The supportive link for this whole conversation is a report about one state. The OP took a report about Michigan improving it's air and water quality and presented it as some kind of determining national study. Lots of suckers have fallen for the ploy.Nope. There are laws that prevent that. It is not rocket science to understand that laws such as that will result in a cleaner environment.So why would you want to abolish the EPA and get rid of environmental laws?
So Mr. Businessman can save a few bucks and dump all his shit right into the river.
What we question now is WHY all of the NEW initiatives. What we have on the books is working. Additional ones are nothing more than base appeasing actions.
If Michigan's environment is cleaner, then so is the rest of the country. The same laws are in force in all 50 states.

limiting its power and abolishing it are two very different things, dipshit.
I know this will drive the environmental wackos. "How dare anyone claim the environment is clean!"

Straw man argument. Try again.
Wrong, it's not a stawman argument. You obviously aren't capable of committing logic. No wonder you're an environmental wacko.
The answer is always simple. Give industry the environmental specs which they must meet, and it finds a way to make a profit, as revealed by orogenicman above.
So why would you want to abolish the EPA and get rid of environmental laws?
They could make products much cheaper if they were allowed to dump waste right into the river like they used toThe answer is always simple. Give industry the environmental specs which they must meet, and it finds a way to make a profit, as revealed by orogenicman above.
Sure. What difference does it make if the price of their product is 10 times what it was before the EPA issued its regulations, right asshole?
Yup. True entrepreneurs can establish their business environmentally sound. Those that can't shouldn't be up and running.
