There's certainly no science involved here. I completely understand your issue. They don't pay for it. You do. It is about theft and tyranny.
Excellent call. That's exactly what it is. This type of fallacy typically leads into a prosecutor's fallacy as conditions get more and more contrived.
One must first define 'pollution'. One must also define 'reasonable'. Who decides what is 'reasonable'? You? Me? Some complete twit here on JPP? Biden? AOC? Pelosi? Trump?
Let's take a simple example:
Use of coal in inefficient fires sends a lot of unburned coal up the stack as tiny particulates. This of course creates dense clouds of soot that can inundate entire cities where coal is used a lot in inefficient fires. This was a problem during the turn of the century in England and is currently a problem in places like China. In this case, the pollution is the carbon particulates in the air. This kind of thing can be addressed with a specific law, requiring minimum design standards for boilers using coal fires. Today, in the States, coal plants operate very cleanly and efficiently. No more soot! Heck, in a lot of places across the States, these plants burn coal so efficiently people don't even know they are there! Local laws can easily address these kinds of problems. No national law is needed at all.
Today, of course, we have the EPA, an unconstitutional department. Congress was never authorized to create a department like the EPA. It sucks a lot of money, has solved NO problems with pollution, and implemented fascism on businesses pretty much for the hell of it.
If government decides to call a naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere 'pollution', there is no limit to the tyranny it can implement.
It's called the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunately, that document is discarded and trampled by Democrats. They don't recognize it. They want it gone. It's in the way.
