Original Note:
Congress in 1990 passed a permit-trading scheme that incentivized power plants to reduce sulfur pollution. In 1995, the first year of the new rules, sulfur emissions from power plants dropped by 19%, reducing acid precipitation as much as 25% in the eastern United States. https://www.science.org/content/article/pollution-law-slackens-acid-rain
