I don't have a license or insurance, and I can't vouch for the quality of materials this contraption is made out of, but I'll do a real good job for ye at a fair price. We don't need no stikin' govmint regerlations. And don't wurry bout' no stinkin' purmit. The govmint don't need to know about it. And if a littl' fire happns' to break out, just tell the surnce' company ta mind their bisnes and writhe the check. It's bout' liberty I tell ya.
How much input does the average American have in reviewing and questioning regulations? There are some that have been in effect for years and provide a layer of safety for the American public. There are other regulations that have been added over the years, touting some safety measure, complete with a proprietary product or material, which only benefits the top players in the industries who have had a hand in writing them, shutting out smaller enterprises who might like to compete.
I believe these are the main type of regulations that are under fire here. You would have to believe that everything listed is listed solely for its public benefit. You would be naive to think this.
I see no greater indication of collusion than CP's $14,000 solar panel example.
