Reply #271: You talk like you are reasoning

but do you take the time to look at the evidence, or jump to conclusions?

You write,"I'm guessing that "$90 billion cost" and "job losses" are more industry-sponsored scare tactics than "facts"."

But:

Estimated costs of implementing this proposal range from 19 billion to 90 billion U.S. dollars, according to the EPA.

Sunstein didn't call anybody a wacko.

I've understood that job losses could be offset with new jobs in compliance. It would depend on the economics. If there is potential profit left after paying for the fixes, jobs will be created. If there isn't enough profit, then entire projects would be abandoned. It would take more than a "guess" to figure out which. That's probably why Sunstein see some people as unreasonable.
