If externalities such as disposal costs are built in the price, it will be easier for people to decide...

  You can't hand-wave it as "pricing in externalities". What disposal method should be priced in? In theory, disposal could add $0.05 to the price of a battery, by making drive to the official Battery Fire, tossing it in, and driving back, all the way to making it cost $50000 whereby someone will drive to your house to get the battery, and then over the course of the next 6 months lovingly disassemble it to remove each component and chemical without producing any waste, or anything in between. What do?

  Or maybe people should consider "Do i want to maintain this for its lifetime" before buying it.
