Except among those who wrongly think those regulatory rollbacks are a profit driver.
The investment in pollution control is a sunk cost, and the incremental operating costs are tiny.
Those rollbacks will mean very little profit enhancement to the large majority of companies, except for those that were breaking the law anyway.
Ethical investors and executives should have that buyers' remorse.
