Endangered Earth: The Politics of Acid Rain
- 1988 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
- Acid precipitation is an unwanted by-product of the Industrial Age, the generation of electricity, the driving of trucks and automobiles, and the burning of fossil fuels. The legislators who are charged with developing a solution are not inclined to find an economic answer. Most are lawyers and their tendency is to impose a punitive solution, one that looks upon polluters as criminals, rather than as businessmen with a hazardous by-product. Businessmen, in turn, resent being thought of as criminals. Environmental economists agree that government intervention is needed to make pollution unprofitable, yet the federal government is abdicating all responsibility.
