Exactly! While I am concerned about the environment in general, all I was
stating here is the "polluter pays" principle. Standard microeconomics tells
you that the best way to combat negative externalities is to make sure that
those who cause them bear the full cost. If it is fair that BP pays for the
cleanup of the Gulf, then it is equally fair that truckers and owners of SUVs
pay for the damage they cause.
BTW, I warmly support nuclear power, so I am certainly no wild-eyed green ;-)
