    Energy producers and environmentalists are mining the same regulatory fields these days, thanks to fears surrounding global warming, and the 'Baptists and Bootleggers' effect. 'Baptists and Bootleggers' is a familiar phrase to those who examine the incentives and consequent effects of a policy, not just what the policy was intended to do.
