States would spend 160 billion per year on pollution control. In 1996 Ben Lieberman, an environmental research associate with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, estimated that in the United States the cost of the phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in accordance with the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer could reach 100 billion over the next ten years. Indeed chemical manufacturers had to develop eco-friendly substitutes such as hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC), which are more costly to make, and hundreds of millions of pieces of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment using CFCs had to be discarded.

One strength of the American system, beyond the collaboration between industry and academic institutions of high quality, rests in the competition between laboratories, a hallmark of the free enterprise system. Although it is difficult to assign ultimate credit for discoveries, it is safe to say that the industrial laboratories make a significant contribution to science. They stand now as the prime developers of new medicinals, a fact pointed out by Sir Derrick Dunlop (2) in a statement made in 1967 Of the seventy most valuable drugs introduced to medicine in this century since the discovery of aspirin in 1899, sixty were discovered and developed by scientists in the laboratories of industry. ...
