Ignore the pollution issue. Ignore the public welfare issue. Alan Moran is so enthusiastic about the private enterprise option that he thinks it will answer all problems.
Funny thing, as far as I know our champion of capitalism has never run his own business. Well I do and I have also worked in both private and public enterprises both here and in three other countries. I am an engineer and I think I would have a lot more practical experience than Alan.
He is so keen on the US example and ignores the fact that the US is the worlds greatest pollutor. Of course the public have chosen the option they want and they don't want the climate to change either. News for them - you can't have both. Sooner or later reality will bite, and no amount of academic economics will change that. Mother earth doesn't give a stuff about the Institute of Public Affairs.
Perhaps we will have to change our lifestyle Alan. What we want may be impossible.
