![solved it](/images/sip/solved-it.jpg)

I solved one of our nation’s biggest challenges.

I figured out how to reduce more pollution with less regulation and cost. The Draft [Clean Air act of 2018](https://allawgp.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=611347db42afb8e0ce5722866&id=9b0bd8c490&e=636052b3dc) reduces more pollution and addresses climate change—while reducing regulation by 75% and increasing personal and corporate freedom.  It was not by adding more complexity to the system that I accomplished this.  It was through [simplicity](https://allawgp.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=611347db42afb8e0ce5722866&id=92a24c54ec&e=636052b3dc).
