    It's a university textbook; of course it's a hundred dollars.

            However I will be earning money this summer which means that I can buy things
            So I will probably check this book out

                That's what BP found to its cost...

                • Still nothing from ricketyclick?

                  I suppose that the use of nonrenewables does not in itself carry an externality then....

                  • The only externality (looked up externality on the wiki) I see with oil is air pollution and the risk of oil spills, but since BP has to pay for the cleanup I don't know if that's actually an externality. However, based on what I've just read, shouldn't we tax gas because of the air pollution externality?

                      Climate change?

                      Though I'm guessing you're one of those people that don't believe our carbon emissions are directly affecting the world's climate...

                        Just asking.

                          Incorrect.

                          The science behind "carbon dioxide can make the planet warmer" is there. I am however one of those people that is skeptical that the amount we are putting into the atmosphere is sufficient or the rate rapid enough to cause any sort of catastrophic change. It's not an issue I pay much attention to though.

                          HOWEVER I mentioned air pollution, so you obviously can't read.

                            Of course we should, as well as for congestion and road maintenance externalities (assuming direct road use pricing is not available)

                            • So then your point with externalities was that nonrenewables do not inherently have externalities, correct?
