Liberal Principles for a New Environmentalism

Source: Law & Liberty
by Jonathan H Adler

“Congress constructed the edifice of federal environmental regulation atop a pile of misconceptions and mistaken assumptions. Once erected, it has withstood meaningful efforts at reform, and atrophied. However much some existing laws helped address twentieth-century environmental problems, they are increasingly obsolete and ill-suited to today’s environmental challenges. Steven Hayward is absolutely correct that ‘it is long past time for something new,’ and properly identifies many of the key attributes upon which a ‘new environmentalism’ could be built.” (10/22/25)
