Re: Win - Win: Cars to run on household rubbish

No matter what we do, there will always be costs and consequences. In the economic sense that is a good thing. Costs and consequences allow us to allocate scarcity by placing comparative values on things. Those with the highest benefit to cost ratio are winners, the rest losers. This is democracy in action; we get to vote with our dollars and by our choices in the marketplace.
It's not a conspiracy. It's economics.
While reading I couldn't help but recall the M*A*S*H* episode in which Major Burns held the grabage auction!
Seriously, who knew Frank Burns had such foresight?
Cheers,
