In the spirit of
Dr. Boudreaux, here is a letter I sent to the Washington Post:
In his letter, “Where are conservatives' conservation efforts?” (Sept. 9th), Mr. Kennard makes in interesting connection between Hayek’s warnings about government interventions into complex market systems and human intervention into the complex environmental systems. However, he should have quit when he was ahead.
If Mr. Kennard looked back at history, he might discover that the internal combustion engine automobile was one of the single greatest advancements in pollution reduction in the 20th century (produced by in the marketplace, mind you). Before then, streets were lined with filth and the air filled with methane from horses which people used to get around.
Mr. Kennard then indicts “Conservatives” to come up with his solutions to his perceived, “problem” because they oppose “Liberal” “solutions”. My answer is to see the above.
Sincerely,
