Andrew Sullivan indirectly makes a very good point here about the pernicious and unintended effects of government regulation an their being unavoidably intertwined with corporate preferences.
Surely few people would object to federal regulations about car safety, and many think that federal regulations could be the solution to environmental problems, by raising emissions standards. But, here we see that government regulations - as insisted on by powerful corporations - are actually obstructing serious progress in the area of more efficient, and enviro-friendly transportation. Unintended consequences are everywhere, and corporations and government are, once again, predictable bed-fellows.
