Today, we depend on more devices than ever. This means there’s always that need for a power outlet to keep them charged and keep us connected. Sooner or later, it happens to everyone: that moment when your smartphone battery is drained out and you don’t have an electrical plug nearby. This is especially common when you’re traveling, hiking, biking or in a remote place somewhere, for whatever reason.

I've just read Elizabeth Anderson 's critique of the use of cost-benefit analysis in environmental and workplace safety policy.    (It was written in 1995, so I'm a little behind.)    It appears in chapter 9 of her book Value in Ethics and Economics and is reprinted in the anthology Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. It's a good read for those who estimate the value of a statistical life of the willingness to pay for improvements in air quality.

When I mention what I do (come up with ways to estimate the value of environmental goods and services), I sometimes get a response like this :   It really is irritating that some people need to use economic measures to value our environment. The reality is our environment, air, water, seas, national parks & Great Barrier Reef are truly priceless & must be treated as such ie no cost benefit BS studies needed. My response is really quite simple.

Last week's midterm elections were a mixed bag for environmental policy.    Lots of initiatives went down in defeat, though some passed, and some pro-environmental candidates won. Most notably for us environmental economists, the state of Washington failed to pass a carbon tax initiative, which would have made them the only place in the US where there is such a tax.
