When I hear the tag line, make environmental policy more “efficient” for business it gets my stomach churning. Our current elected officials do not care or understand the environment or the current issues facing it. Business concerns are their own separate entities and should not influence environmental policy. We have brilliant people in the field of environmental research and if we were to call to bear all the technology we currently have we could be far more “efficient” as it were. I do not believe that any enterprise that uses business interests as a guiding principle has any place dictating environmental policy. The nature of our current economic system does not allow for careful acquisitions of resources from our environment. It rewards the ones able to do it cheapest and does not reflect how the environment should be treated.
