Weiser, again on the genesis of this thread:
===============
Ah, now it's turned from economics to "environmental costs." Please try
to
pick one thesis and stick to it.

If you read carefully, it is still about subsidies. Clearly, if
environmental costs are not accounted for, we have a subsidy to the
firm -- the "people's" water being given, very cheaply, to firms.

I'm on topic, but I'm not sure about you.
