Can you name situations where government regulations/policies have spawned innovations/positive developments in the industry?
For example the high taxation of fuel in Europe made the consumers more conscious of fuel consumption, forcing the carmakers to make fuel efficient cars, better insulation of homes, energy efficient lightbulbs, etc..
Or the green movement that eventually resulted in ecofriendly cars, and supported the development of alternative energy sources.
