In fact, the removal of onerous legislative barriers -- which is what
this bill attempts (and fails, BTW) to do -- will once again allow the
free market to prevail.

The free market fails when costs can be passed on to others without
recourse.

That increases a producers cost and makes them uncompetitive.

Pollution passes costs on to others without recourse, sometimes
permanently. "Onerous legislative barriers" are one way to ensure that
this doesn't happen (as much).

They are a Good Thing.

Most environmental regulation is based on junk science.
