I was specifically trying to counter "promoting a tax to get the most out of the market itself seems like doublespeak."
The parent is being Mr. weasel word with "seems like" but I'm guessing that's just sloppy writing.
Also, I agree with you. Tax on pollution is probably the best solution. I couldn't think of a way to put pollution tax into a short argument. Fee for "storing your waste" doesn't have quite the same punch as "using my air"

- WalterBright 13y agoA tax on pollution has other advantages - it funds the government in a manner that does not discourage productive behavior.
