I'm not saying that all regulations are bad. Some are good, and we should keep them. Others are bad, and we should get rid of them. But the ones that require the most money still favor incumbents, something I oppose for a variety of reasons (mostly because they innovate less than upstart competitors).
I also think there are other ways to do things. Instead of a regulation, a tax credit in the opposite direction can be a good approach. For example, "don't produce more than 2 tons of carbon byproducts" could be replaced by "we will give you back $10 in tax credits for every pound of carbon byproducts you reduce from this year's baseline over next year."
Something worth pointing out: We can both want the same things, as I think you and I have shown here. We can go about them in very different ways, and there's nothing wrong with that
Just because I'm on "the right" and you're on "the left" doesn't mean that one of us doesn't care about something important. It's helpful when we approach one another in this manner (as you and I are doing at this very moment, so thank you) versus the usual bickering that happens here.
