A clarification on an old post

June 18, 2009  |  Uncategorized

From the inbox:

I came across an old post of yours:  http://www.env-econ.net/2006/01/nc_ecosystem_en.html   I am the reader you tipped your hat to, I believe.  I wrote you well before 2006 to discuss environmental mitigation banking. ...

Your lack of skepticism regarding the ecological and economic wisdom of a program like the NCEEP disturbs me a bit.  NCEEP directly compete with private firms, engage in a very controversial practice with lower standards, “In-Lieu-Feed” mitigation, and are regularly subsidizing impacts to the environment with public money.

My reply:

My two comments contain the qualifiers: "it seems" and "?". Please don't infer a lack of skepticism. A post like that is usually designed to raise questions and not endorse projects or programs.
