[quote=B HOOFED;10755669]While it would be possible to eliminate federal environmental regulation and let the states do it, it would be a big mess. What happens in one state affects not only that state, but neighboring states. Imagine living downwind or downriver of a state that decided to relax its pollution laws to attract more industry.

Thats easy. The state that gets populated goes to court to recover the money it takes to clean up the mess...................
