There's a lesson to be learned here:

Remove lead? Industry fights it. Lead gets removed. Industry is fine.

Acid rain? Industry fights it. Sulfur dioxide emissions reduced. Industry is fine.

Hole in ozone layer? Industry fights it. PFCs removed. Industry just fine.

Global warming? Industry fights it...

But the industry WASN'T fine. They lost a fraction of a fraction of a percent in profits by going for the cleaner, safer options. How can you be so heartless.
