The option is US alone regulates (along with some allied-interest 
countries), or as you say every state/ municipality is able to do it, or 
there is a more democratically decided global (loose and broad) 
framework of agreed norms and principles, giving enough flexibilities, 
but perhaps over some predictable calibrated  set of options, to states/ 
municipalities etc.

I choose the third option, you cha tell me which one do you choose.
