Moffat On Suzuki

Mike Moffat has a valid point.  It isn't, as David Suzuki sometimes contends, that economists don't understand "externalities" or claim we should ignore them.  The term is a bit of economic jargon, after all.  No.  The people who ignore/downplay externalities are those folk who, for example, say they want to help clean-up the environment but decry a carbon tax or whine when somebody sticks a turbine out in the lake.

The rest of us, in other words.
