I believe "the environment belongs to all of us," When individuals or groups do harm to "our property," they should be held accountable for fixing the damage, just the same as if I damage my neighbors' property I should be accountable for the damage I do. It is my opinion, that groups who polite the air (a single example) to create a profit for themselves, should be required to clean the air at their own expense. Whether this is accomplished through taxes or lawsuits does not matter in my opinion.
Though I generally dislike government use of incentives to manipulate business. I am of the opinion that past government actions have provided certain types of advantages for some types of businesses and reduce the natural competitiveness of of our current state of affairs. Therefore, I am not absolutely opposed to government finding ways to incentivize alternatives.
