Fighting for their right to pollute

MSNBC: Tighten smog rules? Industry fights proposal
As the US government prepares to introduce new tougher limits on smog emissions, various industries are actively fighting back.  As usual, they argue that making the required changes will cost money and hurt the economy.  Health experts point out that thousands of lives would be spared and millions of dollars saved on health care and missed days of productivity.  If it was terrorists killing thousands of Americans each year instead of smog, you can bet the problem would be taken slightly more seriously.
