The negative externalities aren’t priced in. That’s just a simple fact. If they were then gas would be $20+ per gallon and we wouldn’t have most of the population suffering from obesity. Cities like Columbus wouldn’t have 200+ acres of surface parking lots (most American cities suffer from the same problem).
You can tell that the externalities aren’t priced in because the problems they cause continue to stay the same or get worse (obesity, coral reefs dying, car crashes killing kids and stuff).
