I'm generally in favour of allowing the market to do its work. That said, in the case of emissions, it is too expensive to attribute and process torts, so the true cost of emissions is rarely ever passed on to even very large polluters who have damaged a lot of property. This is why the original mandate of the EPA is so legitimate.

I'm with you on the subsidies though.
