This book explores the effects of current regulatory policies and proposes a radical restructuring of the environmental regulatory authority.
The centralization of environmental regulation has led to inflexibility and inertia in the federal government as it attempts to respond to widely diverse problems. That attempt has also placed penalties on innovation and investment.
In Using Federalism to Improve Environmental Policy, the authors explore the effects of current regulatory policies and propose a radical restructuring of the environmental regulatory authority to meet the need for more aggressive and more responsive environmental enforcement.

“More than twenty years of intensive federal regulation of environmental risks have demonstrated the severe drawbacks of centralized environmental policy. The command-and-control regulatory strategy that dominates environmental policy has proved inadequate: it has not set intelligent priorities, it has squandered resources devoted to environmental quality, it has discouraged environmentally superior technologies, and it has imposed unnecessary penalties on innovation and investment.”
