I'll note that there is a long history of manufacturers overstating the impact that environmental regulation will have on their business; the EPA numbers for financial impact are always based on "keep the existing process as-is, but add pollution controls" and not "Change how you do things to avoid producing pollution in the first place"

I'm not interested in listening to greedy bosses and their lobbyists telling me more danger is safer.

Since all these industry and groups say is some dire bulllshit about costing jobs about everything why should we believe anything they say?
