If only we had some neutral mechanism for allocating resources like electricity to productive uses! I guess we'll just have to ask the fine ladies at The Atlantic which of them are worthwhile.

I’m not sure that “try capitalism” is the best response to an article complaining about a market failure due to unpriced externalities.
But I don't want to price externalities - I want The Atlantic to weight in on whether particular uses of electricity or water give them the ick or not.
