Did I say that? No.
Maybe you should check your cold war mindset whereby pointing out a limitation of the free market necessarily gets a response about the USSR. As though that were literally the only possible alternative.
To recap:
ori_b: How to disincentivize fossil fuel use? [a current policy goal]
briandear: The free market! All we need is magical energy tech that doesn't exist yet and makes oil obsolete overnight, haha.
me: The free market actually doesn't solve the externality problem.
you: The USSR wasn't perfect either!
