The costs of treating pollution

Montana suffers from other inarguable examples of future debt – in the form of real money, millions of dollars – being handed off to future generations. And those who complain loudest about government deficits are often complicit. State environmental regulators, prodded by conservative, deficit-hawk politicians and activists, continue to approve mining operations that create pollution in perpetuity. And because pollution has costs, it is being addressed by simply handing the problem to future Montanans. The examples are many and include contemporary mines.
