That increases a producers cost and makes them uncompetitive.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying that by not allowing
a producer to pass costs on to others without recourse,

I'm saying you knowledge of how free markets work is typically the bilge of
academia.

this makes producers uncompetitive? I suppose I'd agree. My own business
is unfairly restricted because I have to take care of my own garbage
rather than just toss it at my neighbor, I have to buy my own supplies
rather than just raid my neighbor's house, and I have to follow laws.
Bloddy inconvenient, I say.

Most environmental regulation is based on junk science.

It doesn't take much science to compare before and after. I'll take
"after".

Your knowledge on science is akin to your knowledge of free markets.
