This action is so typical bureaucratic government. Start out with a good concept (less pollution where the less fortunate live - who wouldn't want that?) that gets morphed by hapless policies and actions that end up doing the complete opposite of their original intention (or worse) through unintended consequences.
I've worked with government regulation every day for the last 25 years, and I see it happen all the time, especially with regulations like the Dodd-Frank Act. It's the sad nature of the governmental beast.
