This statement is true. In the 1970s, the U.S. relied heavily on Command-and-Control models of pollution regulation, which involved setting strict regulatory standards and enforcing compliance through penalties and fines. This approach was criticized for being inflexible and costly, leading to the development of more market-based and incentive-based approaches in the 1980s and beyond.
