Well it’s easy to be glib but if your economic viability depends on remaining subsidized it’s different. I mean if you had to start cutting a cheque to Brazil for the oxygen that the Amazon produced you’d fight tooth & nail against it as it’d take your precarious startup and really endanger it.

Not saying change isn’t needed, I just understand why the people who will be ruined by it are fighting it. “Clean coal” is another example.

The market price, I suggested, would only work for the housing developments in the dry areas and not for farmers. Apparently farmers get their water from wells and water rights to creeks running through their land.
