You have? a point there.

right, nothing i said discounted what you say. But short term profits are what most investors are looking for, few large companies pay dividends that people have an interest in, the big trading is in the highs and lows of the near market or speculation. Long term (10+ year plans) arent of interest to investors looking for some return,? not a retirement plan. Also, setting investors aside, bonuses at all levels depend on short term profit.

And how many foreign car companies have plants in the United States? Shipping products costs money. And how? many foreign markets buy American cars? "That's what high regulation and taxation does, it drives companies out." Then why are there so many companies in the United States that already meet these standards?

You have no idea how? electricity works, do you?
By: r5n. on 12 Jan 12, 00:52:03
And I admit, you're right, it doesn't make a? lot of sense to ship power plants to China.............. cause Mexico is so much closer.
By: r5n. on 12 Jan 12, 00:50:27
Or? they'll just them down, cause that's totally not something they do all the time! Look at the "American" car companies for instance, how many Ford/GM/Etc plants are in the US compared to outside the US, compared to how it use to be the first 50-60 years they were in business. That's what high regulation and taxation does, it drives companies out. And I fail to see how a company putting twice the pollution into the air in China is cleaner then current US standards.

I'm under the impression that companies are required by law to do whatever it takes to maximise their stock market value. I'll need to validate? that before asserting any certainty, however.

You are right, because sadly companies care more about short term profit rather than the health of the nation or our economy. LOwer? health issues means lower health costs, higher productivity, etc...
By: waltermh111. on 10 Jan 12, 15:11:06
So, the more people that die, the better for us all, great, who needs tech advance, it only saves lives and that costs money money life confirmed. Also,? those costs for 11k people will be mitigated by lower healthcare costs of a healthier society and a greater happiness of that society, higher productivity, etc...

"prevent 11,000 premature deaths per year." Great! Now do the? math for us. What will it cost the country to pay all those old people their old age security payments and how much will it cost the health care system to look after them?

You are a moron. These regulations will cut pollution and create jobs.? Power companies won't outsource jobs to China, because it is impossible. Many companies already beat these new regulations, so no company will have to fold as a result of this. And the companies that need to make upgrades will have to pay people, AND CREATE JOBS, to make the changes.

Even with their "improvements" they are still way below what ours USE to be. When will the environmentalist wackos figure out they're only making it worse by pushing these stupid regulations? and moving the plants and factories overseas while also killing American jobs.

Markets are only tools. They make a good servant but a bad master and a worse religion. Markets can be used to accomplish many things but they can't do everything, and it is a dangerous delusion to think? other wise.

The thing is, though, that it might actually be cheaper? to pay those fines than to reduce their mercury emissions. Keyword being "might".
By: BrotherAlpha. on 06 Jan 12, 09:44:37
China is actually improving their? pollution standards as well. Plus, it's hard to outsource energy generation, so updating power plants will create jobs.
By: r5n. on 06 Jan 12, 06:22:30
You should rename this video, "EPA sends MORE jobs to China and ruins the environment more then what would have otherwise occurred, because they don't give a poop about emissions? in China."

Excellent news. The "Free Market" has shown time and time again that? it is not to be trusted with our environment or our economy. The Free Market Rhetoric is just that...it's bullshit Corporate Porn without ethics, without decency.

The? thumbnail image for this looks like some kinda sci fi thing

It's about time...now lets make? sure it's executed properly.
By: PhantasyGod. on 06 Jan 12, 03:21:11
FINALLY, now the only thing is? is that to enforce it.
