clean air act is woke liberal crap that stunts corporate earnings.

That's doubtful. Back when "acid rain" was a cause celebre, Congress commissioned a study of the problem. It turned out the acidity of rainwater was due to having percolated through forest mats of conifer needles.

I lived in a town where the local waterfront paper mill produced its own sulfuric acid from the high temperature combustion of sulfur, creating sulfur trioxide and probably also some sulfur dioxide. They made sulfuric acid by admitting the SO3 into vertical columns filled with limestone chunks over which water was percolating. H2O + SO3 => H2SO4. But some of the gas leaked into the local area. During a temperature inversion, it was a cap over the whole town. On a bad day, to go outside meant to breathe fire (formation of sulfuric acid in your lungs). But there was never any "acid rain," and we always had a lot of rain (which incidentally washed the SO3 out of the air). After decades, the mill shut down.
