re: #76 elbruce
I think we’re having the old carrot stick argument. I would agree that a direct tax on pollution would be better if it was directly linked to paying for remediation and prevention efforts. Sort of like an air superfund. That way its related to the real cost of a prduct or service.

If you want to change the heart and minds of people you will need to make that direct link between behavior and consequences. Creating artificial mechanisms to enforce policy will generate a lot of resistance.
