&gt;<i>We create standards for emissions.</i><p><i>Who</i> creates standards?  Equally corrupt and money driven politicians?  I certainly don&#x27;t remember having a debate and getting to  vote on what the standards will look like, and why.  They seem arbitrary.<p>It&#x27;s funny, we sit around HackerNews and laugh at the ineptitude of politicians trying to regulate the internet, but yet we assume they know what&#x27;s best regarding pollution regulation?  That&#x27;s hypocritical.
