All the hysteria about air polutiion should be tempered by the fact that industries which we need for our factories and livelihoods are producing manufactured goods and services that create wealth for our citizens. It all comes down to the notion of whether we want healthy, productive industries or clean air with industries run out of the state by tax and regulation policies that strangle life from our industrial base. One reason so many jobs and industries have left the state is that these kind of regulations make running businesses very expensive and there are better places than Michigan to operate from a business standpoint.
However bad you think business is and however much you want to tax it you are biting the hand that feeds you, or, in another metaphor, "killing the goose that laid the golden egg."
I know a good place for all you environmentalists who think business should have these oppressive regulations. Go to Wyoming where you can breathefresh air to your hearts content!
