You should care about pollution too but only in proportion to the actual harms it's causing, which can be addressed in civil courts.

True dat... That's why green free marketers are so weird, misunderstand the purpose and point of what a market doesn't. 

My rebuke: you should care about resources and markets and what prices reflect, _not_ pollution.

nobody did that for green concerns. That was just a neat, lil secondary benefit.

If I'm playing Devil's advocate, that's why people don't trust the market to deliver less pollution. It was basically an accident that the cleaner natural gas displaced coal. We could make a major coal discovery and the market would switch us right back.
