Yes Corey it is that simple. It is that simple because ALL firms
pollute to some degree. Thus, ALL firms are engaged in criminal
activity and since zero pollution is the goal then you shut down ALL
firms. Why is this so difficult?
This is why I think the costs of reducing pollution to zero can for
all intents and purposes be considered infinite. Given this, shutting
down all firms is not an option and neither is achieving zero pollution.
