[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1452692, member: 18225"] Why shouldn't coal plants follow suit with every other aspect of industry and modernize, with an eye on reducing pollutants? There are thousands of coal plants that are in violation of basic safety standards, which lead to injuries, deaths, etc. The Federal regulatory agency that deals with these types of misdeeds has no power to enforce it's mandate to 'regulate' these companies. Workers die, communities get polluted, and there's no recourse. You were talking about over-regulation? That's a joke. Yes, regulations are often onerous and sometimes without reason, but often they make perfect sense. It isn't an either/or scenario. By your measure we would still have leaded-gas and asbestos, and children under age ten would still be allowed to be employed. I don't want to live in your world. [/QUOTE]
