Description/Abstract Attempts by Congress to legislate an effective policy response to the acid rain problem have failed.^Though many factors lie behind this failure, one of them certainly is cost.^A less expensive, economically viable alternative for cutting sulfur dioxide emissions is needed.^As the level of pollution control has risen over time, the cost of controlling acid rain has risen more than proportionately, making the search for cost-effective policies more deliberate.^One innovative approach to regulation, which has proven its cost-effectiveness in other areas of pollution control, offers the possibility of a politically feasible, but environmentally and economically desirable, solution.
