Abrute fact should be engraved on our consciousness: given finite resources, when we choose to reduce one toxin, we also choose to tolerate another. The American people want a safe and healthy environment, but they also want a strong national defense, first-rate transportation, better and cheaper medical care, good homes, laborsaving appliances, a varied diet, and entertainment. Those who uphold the encironment as a primary value compete daily with the advocates of these other worthy objective.Given the variety of regulatory statutes and rulings, it is likely than an array of regulatory reforms may be needed. At the heart of benefit-cost, cost-effectiveness, and benefit-risk analyses is the proposition that the existence of finite resources requires society to set prioriries and to make choices.
