Microeconomics 200 (meaning an 18 year old can get it). It costs money to prevent waste. There's a certain point where you're actually spending more to get rid of the waste that's left than just allowing some to continue. It is more economical, ie cheaper, to allow some waste than to try to eliminate all of it.

What corn fields? We're not talking about Nebraska. (Kansas's biggest crop is wheat).However, there is LOTS of value in Kansas - the enormous Hugoton gas field is mainly under western Kansas. They also have oil. That's why there is a very $$$rich$$$ oil industry services company based in Wichita - Koch Industries.

More specifically it's called the "optimal economic level of abatement". But who's counting?

I'm starting to think it was Kansas, not the witch, who said "Surrender, Dorothy!"
