How do you respond to the environment-based criticism of libertarianism? For example, hydraulic fracturing of oil has done great things to a number of local economies and decreased our dependence on foreign oil, but it's difficult to deny that there have been some distinctly harmful effects on nature, both locally and globally. Dan Carlin brought up the frightening idea that making sure the water is clean in these areas would only become relevant when companies can make roughly as much money from selling water as selling oil. And that scares me.
I appreciate much of libertarian philosophy and goals (protecting individual liberties, fighting the police state - both domestically and globally, the war on drugs, the disgusting underbelly of bureaucracy, etc) but I can't wrap my head around the idea that deregulating corporations would do anything positive for the environment.
