Early on, growth is exponential, and companies are driven by VC-driven economics with little governmental regulations (mainly because government does not really undertsnad them) this increases until a bubble forms, pops and necessitates governmental regulation.

I belonged to the first generation that taught environmental awareness in schools.

The counter-question was always, “What do you want? clear blue skies, pristine streams and green meadows or progress and prosperity?”

But thing is this: progress and prosperity also come with health costs that we tend to overlook because they often cannot be directly connected to the emissions of any one particular factory or industry, or if so, too late after the fact.

Which is what I meant about socilizing costs downstream.
