Guessing you're thinking of how we dealt with Acid Rain. Democrats correctly identify a problem that government should address, but GOP find a "market friendly" way of addressing.
Issue is nowadays, you need a GOP that actually acknowledges there are real problems worth addressing. I think Matt Yglesias is the person who pointed out that for all the big talk Tucker had about how regular (white) Americans are being left behind and hard done by, he never actually proposed anything actually meaningful to address.
Not acid rain per se, but historically yes. Though since Clinton, "market friendly" has also been in the Democrats' toolbox. I'd love if we debated how to fix problems, rather than what the problems actually are.
