Comments on: Health Legislation: a carbon emitter? http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/11/20/health-legislation-a-carbon-emitter/ The Visible Hand in Economics Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:51:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: garethw http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/11/20/health-legislation-a-carbon-emitter/#comment-21933 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:51:23 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=4465#comment-21933 “are carbon emissions an indirect consequence of health legislation?”
That presumes carbon intensity is an efficiency consideration of current placement of drug stores – I doubt that.

The interesting question is do geographic planning regulations that restrict demand-driven efficiency drive carbon emissions up? One day I suppose they could when transport decisions are exposed to the cost of emission involved and business placement decisions reflect that cost to their consumer, but I don’t know we’re there yet (or ever under the proposed ETS)!
